I am developing USB product on an AVR32 which is going well. We have used a USB library and have the USB Device working. The USB library came with an .inf file that we simply point the windows hardware installation wizard at and our USB Device which then appears as a COM port on the windows machine.
I am now writing a VB application for our customers to communicate with this device and I would like to make the installation of this as trivial as possible. With other USB products I have such as USB flash drives and MP3 players when these are first plugged into a PC rather than a Hardware Installation Wizard appearing a small balloon appears at the bottom of the screen and identifies the correct drivers without any user input.
How do you achieve this functionality to bypass the Win HW wizard? I have tried to right click on the .inf file and click Install before plugging in my USB device but I still get the HW Wizard.
I have these two strings in the .inf file and I have ensured that they match the embedded strings in my USB device.
[Strings]
ATMEL = "Company Name"
ATMEL_CDC = "Product Name"
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
Tim
