ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus, in which a device driver program including operational configuration information is installed, includes a determining unit that reads confirmation indicating information to determine whether presence of consistency between the operational configuration information and actual device configuration information, which is configuration information of a device to be driven and controlled, is to be confirmed, upon installation of the device driver program in the information processing apparatus; an acquiring unit that acquires the actual device configuration information from the device, subsequent to the installation, if the determining unit determines that presence of the consistency is to be confirmed; a consistency confirming unit that determines whether there is consistency between the operational configuration information and the actual device configuration information; and a warning unit that transmits a warning message to a user if the consistency confirming unit determines that there is no consistency.
