Unattended installation
If you want to install FlashPrint silently, there are some extra steps you have to take.
Prerequisites

Exporting the certificate:

- Start
certmgr.msc
- Locate the Zhejiang Flashforge certificate in the Tusted Publishers > Certificates section.
- Double-click the ‘Zhejiang Flashforge’ certificate.
- Click the Details tab.
- Click Copy to file.
- Accept the Wizard defaults and choose a location and name for the certificate.
- Copy the .cer file to a location outside the test machine.
Importing the certificate:
On the machine or image where you want the certificate installed, open an elevated command prompt and type:
certutil -addstore TrustedPublisher [drive]\[path]\[certificate]
Example: certutil -addstore TrustedPublisher c:\test\flashprint.cer
