How to let Windows know the location of the driver file?

Post by Lee »

I am very happy with Actual Installer. But I would like to have one more feature. The installer puts our driver files into the right folder. After we plug our USB device in a USB port Windows will try to load the driver files. But it cannot find the files and always asks the user for the folder where the driver files locate. I am wondering if we can set the path in the installer so that Windows can find the files automatically instead of asking the user to browse the path. Maybe this feature is already in the software but I don't know how to use it.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Actual Installer doesn't have this feature to install drivers.
But you can write an app to install your driver and then add the command to launch this app after installation.
