HI all!

   I am trying to develop one application which communicate to embedded system via USB. I would to get your thought about how to install third part USB to Serial emulator in PC when the application is installed in the PC. ( Normally it is done by device manager and update driver). I am using LV11 sp1.

Add the driver installer to your project.  Then when you build your installer you can select Run executable at end of installation on the advanced panel.  you will be prompted to select any *.exe, *.bat etc that is included in the souce files

I am afraid the is no .exe avilable. but there is .inf file avilable. Is it possible to infom window about it in labview. When i install the application and  plug the device using USB window  recognises the device but no comport it shows. When i update the driver by righght click device manager then lv application can perfectly communicate with the device. I want to avoid the step of updating the driver. I want the lv automatically update the drive when instlled.

If the driver is not plug-n-play its not plug-n-play and LabVIEW can't help. (As far as I know- I might learn something newSmiley Surprised)  The problem is with the driver.

For a thought, is it not possible to copy the driver and modify the registory using LV while installing?
