Installing drivers from INF Files

[Guest]

I am running Vista Home Premium edition. Build 5384 with an Admin account. If
I try to Install an INF file I am get a "cannot copy file to destination
directory" - that is the the system32/drivers directory.

Is that expected? If so how can I install a driver - I get a similar -
Access denied error using the DIFxApi.

Thanks

Try updating the Device Driver through Device Manager > Start > Control
Panel > (set Classic View) > System > Advanced System Settings > Hardware >
Device Manger > select the device, expand the tree, right click it, on the
context menu click Update Driver > point where the .inf is located on your
system.

The driver in question is a Filter driver

Try updating the Device Driver through Device Manager > Start > Control
Panel > (set Classic View) > System > Advanced System Settings > Hardware >
Device Manger > select the device, expand the tree, right click it, on the
context menu click Update Driver > point where the .inf is located on your
system.
