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!
