An information processing apparatus and an information processing method is provided to enable only customized printer drivers to be displayed for a user as targets to be installed when a printer driver is installed. An information processing method comprises the following several steps. When a user starts a customizing tool(S601), an initialization process of the customizing tool is started. The customizing tool displays the UI screen(S602). When the user specifies an installation set of a printer driver to be customized on the UI screen(S603), the specified installation set is checked(S604). If the customizing tool determines that the printer driver is not a customizable driver(S605), it performs an error handling(S612) and then returns to the step of S603. On the other hand, if the customizing tool determines that the printer driver is customizable driver in the determination of the step of S605, the customizing tool controls a CRTC(CRT Controller) to display the UI screen(S606). The customized data, which has been set or modified in the step of S606, and the model name corresponding to the printer driver to be customized are stored in the storage area(S607). Upon depressing the "Create" button after entering the various settings on the UI screen, the printer driver customized according to the settings is created(S608). The customizing tool deletes data registered in the model name storage area of the INF file(S609). Then, the customizing tool writes only the information on the model name corresponding to the printer driver to be customized into the model name storage area of the INF file in order to identify the created customized driver(S610). Upon completion of writing all data of the printer driver names, the customize tool creates a customized printer driver set(S611).
