LoPresti Cc: Unattended Mailing List Subject: RE: [Unattended] RE: unattended-info digest, Vol 1 #244 - 4 msgs Hi Patrick, Sorry I should have been more descriptive. My bad. :) The procedure is that we need to install 3 drivers in total. Windows will detect the capture card, and request a driver. We provide this driver (ComArT 2nd Master) and as far as Windows is concerned the capture card is installed correctly and functions. However this is not the case. For the software to use this capture card to function correctly, it requires 2 additional drivers (ComArT 2nd Device and ComArT 2nd Slave). We have to add these using the Add/Remove Hardware wizard. Once this is done, Windows accepts the drivers and the capture card is now ready for use with 3rd party software. I am hopeful that there is a Windows shell command (or series of), or some WSH script code to install the drivers. Any assistance is much appreciated.

When you say "manually install these extra 2 drivers", what do you mean, exactly? Do you run some kind of installer, or do you invoke the "Add New Hardware" wizard by hand, or what? To answer your other question: To add all of the drivers at installation time, you need to put them under $oem$\$1 and set the [Unattended]/OemPnPDriversPath key to list them. You can have Unattended construct this value automatically, adding all of your drivers; see the "Computing OemPnPDriversPath automatically" section of <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/advanced.html>. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
