How to install a new device(USB device) without showing a file location dialog?

NTDEV

Hi,
We’ve tried to install a new USB device via a .inf. But our custom doesn’t like the dialog which is shown by the system to ask the users where the driver is. I tried to modify the .inf to show the system that I’ve copied the driver to a folder on the hard disk. But the system still asks me to specify the CDROM or the floppy disk which contains the driver.
How to install a new device by copying its driver to the hard disk?
Thanks!

Hi,
I’ve successfully installed the driver without showing a dialog by SetupCopyOEMInfFile in Win2000. But it fails in win98.
How to implement it in win98?

If you copy using SetupCopyOEMInfFile, it wouldn’t prompt again.

Check out “Chapter 6 Writing a Custom Device Installation ApplicationChapter 6 Writing a Custom Device Installation Application” for further info.
