From: Fredrik Johansson on 7 Sep 2009 09:26 Hi, I would like to install a driver during the setup wizard (MSI) of my application. The driver is usbser.sys (provided by MS) and I have my own *.inf file. I am using C#/.NET 2.0 and I have tried using the DriverPackagePreinstall method in DIFxAPI.dll. During the installation I see a popup that tells me that the driver is not signed etc, which is the expected behaviour since I haven't signed my driver package. However, after the installation, when I plug the USB device in I see the dialog "Found new hardware wizard". If I choose the automatic installation Windows will copy the driver and install the device successfully. Why does this wizard show after I have pre-installed the driver? If i choose not to complete the "new hardware"-wizard I see my device under "Ports" in the device manager, but with an exclamation mark and it tells me I have to reinstall the driver. Is it possible to make the driver auto-install without user interaction? (Except for the unsigned driver warning) Same result if I manually try installing with DPInst, see below what my log file says: INFO: Running on path 'C:\Drivers' INFO: No valid 'dpinst.xml' file provided. INFO: Install option set: Suppressing Wizard but no OS popups. INFO: Install option set: legacy mode on. INFO: Install option set: Suppress Add or Remove Programs entries.

Same reason as you noted above, because you haven't signed the driver. > Is it possible to make the driver auto-install without user interaction? > (Except for the unsigned driver warning) You've got to get signed which will solve both problems. |
