Feelin' snarky...

I want to automate installing *.inf and uninstalling with AutoIT.

Step 1 (Installing)- http://www.tech-recipes.com/windows_tips462.html - Learn to love Google. Heck, even try searching the forums.

Step 2 (Uninstalling) - I've performed my one non-personal google search today (See above)

Please, give me some sample code.

Step 2 - No, check out the help file. Of particular interest will be the Run() command

Look into Microsoft's Devcon utility:

Would you explain a bit more in detail or possiblly some sample code?

Moin,

M$ installs .INF files with the command: "rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 file_name.inf"

So, do in AutoIt this for default *.inf files:

; to install an .INF file
$sPathINF = 'C:\AnyWhere\file_name.inf'    ; the full path to your *.inf file
RunWait(@SystemDir & '\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 ' & $sPathINF)

; to uninstall an .INF file
$sPathINF =     ; the full path to the copied *.inf file
RunWait(@SystemDir & '\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultUninstall 132 ' & $sPathINF)

For drivers it is a little bit tricky to get the path/uninstall section of the driver.inf ...

Test a normal installation of the driver and explore the Registry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall to figure it out ...
