How to get the device manufacturer name attached to the serial port

I want to know a method in Win32 to get the device manufacturer name attached with the serial port.

I have already tried the SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty API with the SPDRP_MFG option but getting manufacturer name which is mentioned by the driver. What I want manufacturer name associated with the device not with the driver.

My Device is a USB device and appearing as a USB Serial Port(COM4) in the device manager.

Thanks

A serial device does not send this type of meta data to the computer. There is no hand-shaking done like in a USB connection where the device identifies itself. With a serial device, the computer just starts sending or receiving data.

Run the USBView sample which comes with the WDK to get the manufacturer name and other information about the USB devices.
