Hi,

I am working on the automation of the driver install for a USB
connected device.

I don't have any experience with driver install, and hope that I can
get some help from this forum.

The device connects with USB and only has a .inf file.
The driver itself is usbscan.sys.

Currently when the device is connected a 'new hardware device
detected' wizards pops up. To install it, we now have to follow a
manual process. In the manual process I get a warning that the driver
is not signed.

I would like to automate this with a installer. I think that DPInst is
the tool I could use for this.
See below the data of the .inf file.

I have tried the DPInst with the legacy mode argument (/lm) and then
is says that the driver is installed, but it does not appear in the
hardware manager. I am testing the installation on a Windows XP
machine.

Am I doing the right thing?, any help would be greatly appreciated,

Bart

I read that virtual drivers cannot not be installed using DPInst?
So, is the driver that I am installing a virtual driver?,
and if so, how to automate the installation of this driver?

I get following error.

You won't be able to make the hardware wizard or the driver signing
warning disappear without going through WHQL.

You're confusing driver installation and device installation. You say
you installed your driver -- fine, but why would anything appear in
*Device* Manager unless you really plugged in your device?
