– Windows XP 64
– Windows Server 2003

ACTIAPnPInstaller command line syntax
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Syntax:
ACTIAPnPInstaller.exe [/?] [/nodisplay] [/nolog] [<DRIVER_PACKAGE_PATH>]

How to use
~~~~~~~~~~

User account must have administrator rights to allow driver install.
For driver FIRST INSTALL, following steps have to be respected:
– Launch ACTIAPnPInstaller.exe (from CD or other location), before
plug in your ACTIA USB devices.

– Wait for final dialog box (if you did not set the “nodisplay” switch).

– You can now plug in your ACTIA USB devices.

For driver UPDATE, following steps have to be respected:

– Plug all ACTIA USB devices for driver UPDATE.

– Launch ACTIAPnPInstaller.exe (from CD or other location).

– Wait for final dialog box (if you did not set the “nodisplay” switch).

Log file
~~~~~~~~

If the switch nolog is not specified in the command line then a
log file called “ACTIAPnPLog.txt” is created in the %TEMP% directory
of the current user.

Totally silent install
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the switch “nodisplay” is specified in the command line then final
dialog box will not be displayed, allowing user or an application to
silently install the driver.

However, under Windows Vista operating systems, a dialog box appears during
the execution of ACTIAPnPInstaller.exe to ask user, if he trusts the publisher.
You have to say “Yes”, to install properly the driver.

FAQ
~~~

1) Why does it take such a long time for XP to show the driver installation
dialog box first time the USB device is inserted ?

. XP is looking for driver updates from “Windows Update” web server.
. To deactivate it, go to “Control Panel\System\Automatic updates” and
. Uncheck “Keep my computer up to date”.

2) What to do if USB device was inserted before launching installer ?

. If a dialog box appeared when USB device was inserted,
. select “Cancel” then execute “ACTIAPnPInstaller”.
. Dialog box will appear again. Now choose “Recommended option”.
