[Unresolved] How to determine if specific device is running?

[Negative1]

Hi All,

For one of my scripts I have to determine if a USB device is installed, connected, and running. Is this possible without the use of DevCon as I do not have the liberty to install it on the scripted computer.

Thanks

several different techniques, some that depend on what types of devices you're trying to find. Drives can be scoped out w/ the DriveGet... commands, for example.

if you're looking for full usb bus enumeration, i would suggest you google same.

have a look at this device management UDF by weaponx

filter the results as the example shows for your target device

#include "DeviceAPI.au3"

;debug(_DeviceAPI_GetClassArray())
;exit

;--------------------------------------------------------
; EXAMPLE 1 - Build list of all devices from all classes
;--------------------------------------------------------
;#cs
;Build list of ALL device classes
_DeviceAPI_GetAllDevices()
Local $string
;Loop through all devices by index
While _DeviceAPI_EnumDevices()
If _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_ENUMERATOR_NAME) == "USB" Then
    If NOT StringInStr(_DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_DEVICEDESC), "Hub") Then

    $string = "+"& _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_DEVICEDESC) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Class Name: " & _DeviceAPI_GetClassName(_DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_CLASSGUID)) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Class GUID: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_CLASSGUID) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Hardware ID: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_HARDWAREID) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Unique Instance ID: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceId() & @CRLF
    $string &= "Manufacturer: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_MFG) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Driver: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_DRIVER) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Friendly Name: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_FRIENDLYNAME) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Physical Device Object Name: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_PHYSICAL_DEVICE_OBJECT_NAME) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Upper Filters: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_UPPERFILTERS) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Lower Filters: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_LOWERFILTERS) & @CRLF
    $string &= "Enumerator: " & _DeviceAPI_GetDeviceRegistryProperty($SPDRP_ENUMERATOR_NAME) & @CRLF
    $string &= @CRLF
    EndIf
EndIf
    ConsoleWrite($string)
WEnd

_DeviceAPI_DestroyDeviceInfoList() ;Cleanup for good measure
