Greetings,
I put together a sorry looking hack, not what I wanted to do but until
I can find another solution this will have to do.
The problem was: How to handle a new virtual hardware device. Since
this is a virtual device it doesn't have the usual vender and device
codes.
My solution was two fold
1 - After I install the application the installs the virtual hardware
driver, I added the installation directory containing the .inf file to
DevicePath in the registry:
------------ AutoIt v3 Script ---------------------------
; Add C:\la2124 to device path
$RegDevicePath = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion"
$DevicePath = RegRead ( $RegDevicePath, 'DevicePath' )
$NewDevicePath = $DevicePath & ";%SystemDrive%\la2124"
RegWrite ($RegDevicePath, "DevicePath","REG_EXPAND_SZ",$NewDevicePath)
------------ AutoIt v3 Script ---------------------------
2 - After the software package is installed have unattended reboot the
computer then call another AutoIt v3 script to take care of the New
Hardware Found Wizard.
----------------- AutoIt v3 Script -----------------------------
AutoItSetOption("CaretCoordMode", 0) ;1=absolute, 0=relative
AutoItSetOption("WinSearchChildren", 1) ;0=no, 1=search childrenalso
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) ;1=start, 2=subStr,3=exact, 4=...
WinWait("Found New Hardware Wizard", "")
If WinExists("Found New Hardware Wizard", "Can Windows connect to Windows
Update to search for software") Then
WinActivate("Found New Hardware Wizard", "")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{DOWN 2}")
Send("{SPACE}")
Send("!n")
EndIf
If WinExists("Found New Hardware Wizard", "WinDriver Virtual device") Then
WinActivate("Found New Hardware Wizard", "")
Send("!n")
EndIf
WinWait("Found New Hardware Wizard", "The wizard has finished installing the
software for")
Send("{ENTER}")
--------------- AutoIt v3 Script ------------------------------------
Not perfect, but it works until I can find other solution.
Thanks
Paul
