In Windows XP, I can use the following to install my printer INF file
inside a .bat file automatically without user intervention:
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /ia /m "My printer" /f
.\install.inf /r "c:\temp\myportfile.dat"
rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "My printer" /f
.\install.inf /r "c:\temp\myportfile.dat" /m "My printer"
However, under Windows 7 I can't get it to work. Yes I ran it with
administrator privileges. The INF file installs fine with the Add a
printer manually so I know it works. The printer port is added
correctly and appears as an option in the manual Add a printer.
Any idea what is wrong? Any work around? Anyone free to accept a
paid freelance mini job to do the installer? Thanks.
