Yeah that's the issue we had with libusb and part of why we forked. Libusb has been so bottlenecked with issues that should have been dealt with ages ago, but that took forever to make it to mainline, that even prime features for which we could have a proposal ready (such as hotplug, through an original implementation hat was proposed in July 2010 courtesy of Nokia) are delayed forever. Hopefully, we hope to change that in libusbx, but we still have a lot of the libusb backlog to address. > Our application access usb-devices. > On Windows applications can only access USB devices for > which a libusbx driver is installed. > Therefore we have to install the driver outside of libusbx. > > In the future when libusbx supports hotplug feature we > plan on using it. > > BTW, is the plan for libusbx hotplug feature to also install the libusb > driver ? Not really. This would pretty much require integrating libwdi or some other driver installation facility, which, due to various constraints, is likely better left separated. > Our solution is open-source and available to whomever is interested. Do you want to post a link? The ability to install Windows USB driver "on the fly" in a libusbx application is something I'd expect a few people to want to do, so your solution could be useful. I may actually want to add this link to the Windows backend page.
