Preinstall USB drivers
Hello,
I have a USB device for which I have obtained its appropriate drivers - ..INF, .SYS and .CAT files. The driver is signed, that is ok. I would like to PREinstall the driver on client computers so that when users first connect their usb devices they do not get the "found new hardware" message requiring them to provide drivers. Users are only "domain users". I CAN distribute anything by using a startup script or MSI package so that the membership is not the problem, but how to PREinstall the drivers? Many thanks. O.

Preinstall USB drivers
Have you tried right clicking the inf file and selecting install?

Preinstall USB drivers
Yes, I have.
But when the device is inserted, the system still wants me to provide the drivers. So I assume the driver has not been installed "enough". O.
