Drivers

😱
I'm writing an installer for a USB device and got a big question. I
want the user to run the installer, install the software, and have the driver for the device put in a place where windows will pick it up. This way when the device is plugged in for the first time the user does not have to tell windows where a driver; instead windows would know where the driver is and install the device automatically.

Anyone know how?

if you put it in %windows/%system% it should be found when windows looks, they wil;l still go thru the 'add new hardware wizard' but they wont have to specify a location.

Shouldn't you put an INF file in the Windows/INF directory to do this? The INF directory contains all driver info files.

I'm sad to say it doesn't work!
