Hello!

We use TC08 USB as an OEM part in a larger system controlled by our own software. Therefore a question: is it possible to install just the driver for TC08 USB without installing PicoLog? Ideally, we would prefer completely "silent" installation. It is also acceptable to go through "New Hardware Found" dialog and have drivers (INF file) in the root folder of the installer CD.

It is important for us to bypass dialogs that let the user select the type of module etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sergey

It is possible to do a silent install using our installer but it would mean that you would need a ~27MB installer to deploy only ~340kB of files.

You only require three files to deploy the drivers yourself:
    1) in your application directory: usbtc08.dll
    2) C:\windows\system32\drivers\picopp.sys
    3) C:\windows\inf\picopp.inf


If you are planning to use an MSI installer, you can use c:\windows\inf\picopp.cat for a DIFxApp driver install.
