Hi,

I have to install the ftdi device driver additional to my normal
software installation. Normally a usb driver will be installed when it
is connected to the PC, but I need the driver dll after the software
installation in any case, in order to get if an ftdi device is connected
or not.

How can I do that ? Is that possible to solve that with Visual Studio
installation project ?

Thanks in forward
Rico
 
Could you explain that a little better, Rico? I don't entirely understand
what you are asking. In particular, I do not understand lines 3 and 4. What
software are you talking about? What DLL? Does your FTDI device come with a
driver on it already?
 
Hi,

with software installation I mean the software I wrote by myself. That
software communicate to a breathing device over RS232 till now. In
future version of that software it has to communicate with USB. For that
reason I have to install the mentioned ftdi device driver ...
 
Ok, I think I understand what you are asking now. If you need USB Drivers for
your FTDI device, you will need to get with your FTDI device manufacturer.
Creating a USB Driver for a device is nearly impossible if you are not the
device manufacturer.
