[Question] - Motorola USB Drivers Install

[XL-DJK]

K crew, here's one...

I've created a msi installer for Motorola's USB Drivers.....puts the drivers in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder.

Now, here's the pesky part...

These drivers are for modifcations and access of Motorola phones. (Installs as Phone and Modems)

When you plug in the USB Cable to a USB Port and then plug a phone to the cable, windows pops up the Found New Hardware wizard screen...

These drivers are unsigned just so you know...

How/what command line do I need to stop the found New Hardware wizard and to just have it so when you plug the phone into the comp, it installs the drivers automatically from the installer I've created? instead of popping up those pesky prompts...?

Just to add, if it means anything, I'm using Installshield's basic MSI Builder to create this installer

I have the same problem, I'm using Motorola V3 Razr..hope that someone has the solution for this dilema

Install the driver once, then use double driver to backup the driver and integrate this into your Windows install using nLite.

Yeah, this works for me too, I have moto razr.

Thanks guys, but I hardly doubt I can convince the entire world that runs XP do use this method....I need something/way to register the drivers so that when you plug the phones in AFTER installing the drivers, XP just installs the appropriate driver without any prompts ....these are unsigned drivers, so I figure that you'll automatically get the unsigned drivers prompt (which is fine)

Since technically, the drivers are already on the system....you could just set it so that the Windows sees them when using the typical installation.

Windows searches C:\Windows\INF for all driver files currently installed on the system. You could

A. Just copy the plain INF file there (though you may need to edit it a bit to correct for file paths)

B. Register the INF file. Depending on how you could do it, there is a Windows API to register INF files and load them into the INF folder to be searched for new devices. The Device Drivers forum in the Unattended Forums (check Drivers from CD: Simple Method). There is a file in the download called SetupCopyOEMInf.exe that does just this. However, it's one more file and all it does it call a API function i believe. Somewhere in that forum, i'm sure the exact call is described somewhere.
