How do I distribute NI visa device driver?

I am trying to write an installer for a device driver made with NI-Visa Driver wizard. I encountered some problems and I am trying to figure out what is wrong. The installer generator I am using, Setup Factory, mimics the command:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 filename.inf
When I run this command, Device Manger knows the the device is our device because it shows up as a NI-PXI device but it has a yellow exclaimation on it indicating the device has not been configured correctly. I also tried right clicking on the INF file and the same thing occurs.
I was wondering if I was doing something wrong or am missing another command. I noticed that there was an .INI file the driver wizard generated.
The driver installs correctly when I go into device manager right click on the device and update driver as well as at the end of the NI-Visa driver wizard, it prompts to install for me.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,
Unfortunately we do not have documentation to support Setup Factory. Have you tried contacting their support? In your post you say that the driver installs correctly in device manager and with the NI-VISA driver wizard, is this correct? I'm sorry we can't help more!

How do I install the Apple device driver on my laptop?

My iPhone 4 is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen and won't enter recovery mode after trying to update my phone to iOS 7.0.2. My laptop "can't find a device driver" and iTunes won't detect my phone at all, neither will my laptop. I need help with this problem. I have tried uninstalling the orginal device driver and I can't find a device driver downoad on Apple's website to replace it, so now I have no driver whatsoever. I have "held the home button down for about 15 seconds" whilst the phone was on and again while it was off. Is this a problem many people are having?
Many thanks, Joe

PSE Backup wouldn't work: "CD device driver not installed; install PSE" didn't fix problem; Win7

I'm trying to backup by photos for the first time! in Photoshop 5.0 on a Windows 7 system. I get to "Full Backup" option, and get a pop-up that says "CD device driver not installed; reinstall PSE". I put my PSE disk into my computer, select "Repair... installs... missing files"; PSE re-installs, but I get the same message again when I try to backup. How do I find a CD device driver? (My DVD is formatted, but PSE can't find it.)

I just found a photoshop elements 5.0.2 update "patcher" and installed it. The install was successful but I still got the same message saying "CD device driver not installed". Might there be a problem since I'm now on Windows 7 and no longer on XP? I have no need to buy a newer version since Elements 5.0 does everything I need to do. Any other suggestions?

How can I use a existing USB Driver in NI VISA 3.0

Hello,
we have an ftdi USB driver for our measurement device.
The FTD2XX.sys is registred in C:\WINNT\system32\drivers
Also I have a FTD2XX.dll and an FTD2XX.inf file.
But I don´t know how can I register them in NI LabView or VISA.
Have I to do a new *.inf file for VISA?
Thank you
Cedric

You can either use the manufacturer-supplied driver or NI-VISA to control your USB device but not both. If you have installed your device, each time you plug it in the FTD2XX.inf will associate your device with FTD2XX.sys. Then, you can use FTD2XX.dll to talk to your device using the call library function node. The DLL usually contains a whole bunch of useful functions that someone else already designed to talk to your device. This is the easier route and I would recommend it if you already have the DLL and the installed driver.
The second method would be to uninstall or disable the driver for your device and create an .inf file with NI-VISA Driver development wiazard. This .inf file will tell Windows to use VISA as your device driver. You will, however need the vendor and product ID of the device to use VISA as your driver. The details of this are outlined in the NI document "Using VISA 3.0 to control your USB device."
The drawback of this method is that VISA is just an API to talk to your device and you have to implement the communication protocol to talk to your device. This might take some time to do.
This is why I recommend the first method. Someone else already implemented the driver for your and you just have to use the functions from the dll to implement your application.
Hope this helps.

How to add and configure a usb device driver in SRSS for Sunray?

Dear Sir,
If I want to use a usb device on Sunray 2 (the usb device is plugged into Sunray's usb port), and I have been developed a usb driver on Solaris 10. Can I install the same driver in SRSS host to active the usb device in Sunray? If it can, how do I configure SRSS and where is the location of SRSS drivers? Can I use add_drv similar command to add my driver to SRSS?
The second question is when I plug-in a usb device to Sunray, can I see device information (VID, PID, and so on) in any log file or by any command as "prtconf -v" on Solaris?
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Steven

What sort of USB device do you want to use ?
The peripherals chapter in the SRSS admin guide tells you how to use supported USB devices.
http://docs.sun.com/source/819-2384/dev.html
Drivers written for Solaris devices will not work with Sun Ray devices. If you want to write a device driver for Sun Ray, it is recommended you use libusb for a userland driver. See libusb notes on same chapter mentioned above.
There is currently no SRSS utility to list Sun Ray device parameters like prtconf does.
You could write a libusb application to do this, or use the test program described here:

I have an iPhone 4S that is locked with a password & cant remember password. when I connect to my computer it says that it cannot find the device driver. How can i fix this?

Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

Installed video drivers may not always support the functionality of the latest Flash Player. If Flash Player does not function correctly, updating the video drivers to the latest available version is one of the first steps to try. Below are instructions how to update the video drivers on Windows systems.
identify the manufacturer and type of your video card
open Device Manager: Start | Run | enter devmgmt.msc
open the Display Adapters drop-down; this will show you the installed video card:
identify the device driver version
right-click on your display adapter entry and select Properties
click on the Driver tab; this will show you the driver version and date:
go to the device manufacturer's support site and download the latest driver
NVIDIA cards: NVIDIA driver download page, or auto-detect
ATI cards: ATI driver download page, or auto-detect
Intel cards: Intel driver download page, or auto-detect
Matrox cards: Matrox driver download page
VIA cards: VIA Arena driver download page (redirects to 3rd-party download site)
SiS cards: SiS driver download page, or auto-detect
S3 cards: S3 driver download page, or auto-detect (option 2 on the download page)
follow the instructions on the manufacturer's support site
Note: some of the auto-detect utilities linked above will only run on Internet Explorer.

How do i install Apple Mobile Device USB driver

I have just bought an ipad 2 and cannot connect to itunes - various messages tell me to ensure Apple mobile driver is installed - how do i do that?

Hope you got this fixed.
I just fixed my ipod nano problem on my own and figured I'd share as I have just spent the last 4 hours trying to trouble shoot all of Apple's problems...following everyone's tips...nothing worked until I figured it out on my own.
I'm running windows 7 and have an Ipod Nano (6th Gen). Hard drive crashed on computer. Replaced HD. Everything works fine now. Downloaded iTunes along with all other programs. Nano wouldn't show up or sync on iTunes. Said Device Driver Software was not successfully installed (some USB problems). Tried everything. Finally, I figured it out.
Disconnect Nano. Uninstall iTunes AS WELL AS Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Software Update. Apple only tells you to uninstall iTunes and reinstall..restart computer bla bla bla. I said screw it and uninstalled all Apple programs (well, the listed ones above). I hooked up my nano to my computer to make sure the device manager recognized it without anything else plugged in...and it did. I unplugged it. Reinstall iTunes and all three other Apple programs listed above will also reinstall. I opened iTunes and plugged in my nano. It started with the "installing device driver software" and I was sure it wasn't going to work. Well, it did work. My nano showed up in the upper right bar of iTunes and synced. Unreal... I unplugged my nano and plugged in the wife's. Once again, "installing device driver software." Voila! Her's showed up and synced too. I plugged mine back it to make sure it worked and it did. I'm done. It's working. Hope these steps work for you as well.

HT1296 When I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer it says that there is no device driver. I click fix it now and it does nothing. How do I fix this so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer? Please help. Thank you

I cannot get my computer to find a device driver to connect my iPhone 4 to my computer so that I can transfer my pictures from my phone to my computer in order to free up some memory on my phone. Can you please help me. I have used the troubleshoot method on my computer and it does nothing. I have a Windows 8 computer. Thank you for your help.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.
