installing USB driver

Post by react42 »

Hi,

looking at https://reactos.org/wiki/Install_a_driver it says:
Normally when a device is found, a 'Found new Hardware' wizard will come up that guides you through the process of installing a driver.
As there was no wizard showing up after a start, I tried to install the driver manually by running the .exe of the installer.
The installer fails with the message "No found driver inf!". So I think the installer does not find the .inf file ???
Then I tried to install the device from within "Device Manager". Using Action->Add hardware->Already connected-> "Add a new hardware device" I tried to use the automatic way. Which resulted in

(so no progress and I can't click on "Next" button)
Then I tried the "manual" way. There it says
...click Show All Devices
But there is no "Show All Devices". I found the entry "Other Devices" but selecting it still did not change anything.

After some time I found out that I can just right click on the .inf file and select "Install" (this is a great idea). Unforunately nothing happens after pressing on the install option.
I'm running reactos-bootcd-0.4.15-dev-2639-gae574e1-x86-gcc-lin-dbg in qemu on linux and passing the USB device from host to ReactOS.
Is there a way to see if the device is found in ReactOS? Looking in "Device Manager" I could not find anything about "new device" or "unknown device".

The driver I try to install: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lQtp ... HM/preview

Try to switch Device Manager to "Devices by connection" mode, there is known regression with new unknown devices not displayed in "Devices by type" mode: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-17576

This problem is tracked in https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-8805

Unrelated, but also I'd recommend use attachments on this forum for screenshots, because these uploaded to 3rd-party image hostings might be expired or unavailable at some point.
