Prerequisites for using DriverInstaller:
- Close Watcher
- There is an 'Installer_parameters.xml' file in the same directory as DriverInstaller.exe
- There is a 'Drivers' directory in the same directory as DriverInstaller.exe
Command line options:
-r : uninstall drivers from system
-l : enable logging (Creates an 'Install_Log.txt' file with installation details)
-difx : use DIFx install option for Windows Vista, this command is specific to Windows Vista
-pd : used for specifying the location of the "Drivers" directory, usage:
C:>DriverInstaller.exe -pd "C:\TEMP\Drivers"
-px : used for specifying the location of the XML file, usage:
C:>DriverInstaller.exe -px "C:\TEMP\XML\installation_parameters.xml"
Usage example: "C:>DriverInstaller -l -r"
Note for 64-bit machines:
Always launch DriverInstaller.exe and not DriverInstall64.exe on 64-bit machines.
This is because DriverInstaller.exe detects what OS (32/64 bit) it is running on
and automatically launches DriverInstall64.exe if a 64-bit OS is detected.
Troubleshooting:
If you notice any problems after running DriverInstaller to install drivers for your
device, try running DriverInstaller with the uninstall option ('-r') before running
it again to re-install your drivers.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
