Question Driver installer??

[bentom123]

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project for my company. We build and distribute computer systems with Windows 7.

We would like to create an application in VB.NET to install system drivers for the PC. The drivers will be located on a CD (D:\)

The only issue is getting VB to search through the DVD for useful inf files and install them.

Anyone know how to do this?

First identify which device has been connected to the computer, via device name, WMI, etc.. Once you have a list, use the Windows shell to install the appropriate .inf.

You could also just install every driver you have, unused ones will just stay unused. We do this through customized Windows install DVDs. We just install Windows unattended and all the drivers and extra programs are there.

Hi Herman,

Thanks for your quick reply.

How would I get VB.NET to install the driver?

Thanks
