packing driver files with my installer

Question

I have packed device driver files .inf,.sys, and .cat into my installer, they are installed into windows\system32 folder and windows\system32\drivers folder, however, when I plug in my device and let windows search for drivers, no drivers can be found. the driver files are valid. any idea how to install device drivers for windows automatically? here's the inf file:

I copied inf file to windows\inf, now it's better, but it then tries to look for additional files from H driver(which is my usb device). — user121196
Huh? You should never copy INF files to Windows\Inf yourself. You should have Windows copy them by calling the appropriate API. I suggest you google for DPInst and DIFxAPI. — Ilya

You have to install your driver by using the SetupAPI functions

To do a driver first install, you have to use SetupCopyOEMInf( ... ).

Your driver might not always be selected when installed in this way, because builtin drivers may be a better match.

A better match is always a WHQL signed driver, then signed drivers and then unsinged drivers.
