I am looking for ideas on how to have a Delphi (Windows) application force the installation of a device driver. I am deploying the application , the .inf and .cat files in a zipped archive. I want non-technical users to launch the app and have it take care of installing a USB to serial device driver.

If the device fails to enumerate, then after installing the driver you have to replug the device or force the device manager to rescan the device list. The newly installed driver is activated only on device arrival (or full rescan).
ReplyDeleteThe user will be instructed to do that, thanks
