Driver Install Question

[Guest]

Hey All,

I have these Window's device drivers that can be installed by right clicking
on an inf file and selecting install. Then when the device is plugged into a
USB port, the New Hardware Wizard will pop up and the user can instruct it
to find and install the drivers automatically. Is there an easy way to
bypass
the New Hardware Wizard when the device is detected, and have
Windows find and install the driver automatically without user input? Its
kind of like the hardware wizard is an unnecessary step since the user is
just telling it to find and install the drivers itself. I havent had much
luck finding information on this subject unfortunately. Any advice or links
would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Andrew

The right click drivers are legacy drivers, these are drivers that do not
use the plug and play manager. Typically these are filter drivers or
drivers that provide functionality without supporting a device. The New
Hardware Wizard comes up for plug and play driver's typically these have
hardware and hardware resources, these drivers require more work to
associate the device with the driver.
