Inno Setup Install Ftdi Driver

Hi All, I am trying to install driver using INF file from command line using rundll32.exe. Following is the command which I am using: rundll32 setupapi, InsatllHinfSection DefaultInstall 132.inf But it is failing consistantly with message boc 'Installation Failed'. If I right-click on the same INF file and 'Install', then driver is installed properly. Btc Mouse And Trackpad here. If I use this same command on x86 platform then also it works fine. After searching I came to know that this is the same command which I need to use to install driver using INF on Windows 64 bit version. Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out in this.

Thanks in advance. -Satej PrabhuPatkar. Greetings, I've learned a lot about this particular method.

In short, starting in Vista, DefaultInstall sections will need to be platform specific if the platform is specific:) DefaultInstalls which fail with 'Installation Failed' will succeed if the section is decorated (e.g. DefaultInstall.amd64) However, it should be understood, you can't actually install a driver this way.

DefaultInstall is a legacy method which will only (1) copy files and (2) create a service section. Nothing else (for the most part). Driver Installation is more complicated than this and indeed, DefaultInstall also has no concept of what a signed driver is and the CAT file will never be properly moved over the the CATDB. FYI (See: ) and Note The INF file of a must not contain an INF DefaultInstall section if the driver package is to be digitally signed.
