Minimalist driver installation of GPIB-USB-B bridge

[Norin]

Which files do I need for an installation of GPIB-USB-B ?
How can I get them ?

I would like to install the USB-B bridge in a minimalist way.
I need to access the device in a Direct DLL kind of way, and that's it.

The kit on the CD-ROM NI provided with the device is version 2.3
I installed the "typical" (any other choice is just not a good idea).

Digging through my Windows XP system and found a few relevant files, like:

nigpib.inf

and from there on

nipalusb.sys
nipalk.sys
nipalfw.sys

and

nipal32.dll
nipalu.dll
nipalut.dll

and

gpib-32.dll
gpibconf.dll

Please advise if there's a way I could put together a minimalist driver installation (no NI tools or things like LabView engine)
I do not need a programmatic installation.
I would like the installation to be triggered by "Found new Hardware" and the user follow the wizard, point to my key directory (with all the resources in it, starting with the nigpib.INF file)

Thank you

Here's some additional info:

I got to the level that I have NIPALK started.

But whenever I plug in the device, the "NIPALUSB" driver gives Code 10 (0xA0) (cannot start)

And the "READY" little led on the device does not get lit.

Hi Norin,

I'm sorry to say that there is no way to do a minimal install. However, you can do an unattended install where you can choose what options you want to be "Local", "Absent", or "NoChange". I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for but in order to customize it you'll need to change the template_spec.txt file. Here is a KnowledgeBase that talks about how to do an unattended install for NI-DAQ, however it should work the same way for NI-488.2. Please repost if you have further questions.
