Hi all..

I have a Nokia30 GPRS Modem which has no Pnp. So when I plug in the modem,
it is not detected by add new hardware wizard.
To install the modem I do the following:
1) start HW Wizard
2) select Yes, HW is alreday connected
3) Add a new HW Device
4) install from a list
5) Modems
6) dont detect my modem, I will select it from a list
7) Then I select the modem and define a COM port.

now the modem works.

But I have the install the modem at 100+PC's, so I want to automate the
install process!

Is there any way per script or code to do the same as I described
automatically?

Thanks in advance,
Mario

Get DevCon http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311272
this allows you to do anything the device manager and HW wizard does from
the command line.

Buy the PnP-compatible GPRS modems :-) Ericsson 520 is fine and cheap, for
instance.

When the question is about equipping 100 machines, changing the vendor can
make sense.

DevCon is not going to work for Modem class devices -- reason being that
Modem class devices need to register a "com" port for their use and hence
are different than general installation methods.

Look at KB304294 (
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q304294 )

The sample is a modified version of "Install" sample, and the idea is very
simple. Give it a try...
