Silent INF Installation Through Batch

[Cre8tive]

Hi,

Before people keep flaming me that I should first search the forums for related post etcetera, I've been there but it wasn't working for me. I've got the Toshiba UDF Driver(thdudf.inf, thdudf.sys). Now I want to be able to silently install the inf through the command prompt. I've tried several commands but non of them resulted in a full successful installation of the UDF driver. A few combinations I tried:

rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 %systemdrive%\install\thdudf.inf,,3

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSectionEx %systemdrive%\install\thdudf.inf,4,N

rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %systemdrive%\install\thdudf.inf, DefaultInstall,3

After trying these combinations it does copy the files in the windows folder and some registry entries are imported. Nevertheless it still doesn't work since the "legacy" keys in the registry are missing which are there if the inf has been installed manually.

I don't believe it's impossible to do since it installs fine when I just right click and choose install. I think it's because my knowledge of INFs is insufficient.

Could someone please tell me how to be able to silently install the inf through the command prompt.
