1. Introduction
This script can install multiple DeviceMasters into Windows 2000/XP/2003.
DeviceMaster Scripted Installer was created because installed multiple
DeviceMasters with many serial ports is a pain in the ass. Also myself and a few
others in the Comtrol forums would like to be able to install the DeviceMasters
in an automated fashion. This package automates the process of installation as
recommended by Comtrol from a GUI or commandline.
The scripted installer has 2 modes of operation.
1) Devices: Install devices that are not configured. Basically after you do this
you need to configure the driver from the DeviceManager.
2) Profiles: Install devices and configure their drivers from settings stored in
the DeviceMasterInstaller.ini file. This is very handy if you have
multiple units and many settings per unit. All the info for all your
devices can be stored in the .ini file simplifying installation.
This scripted installer was created with a wonderful program called Autoit v3
The latest version of DeviceMaster Scripted Installer is available at http://www.innominatus.com
-----------------------------------------
2. Usage
The driver itself is embedded in this installers .exe file for ease of use.
GUI Operation:
- Optionally setup the DeviceMasterInstaller.ini file based on the example with
the information for your devices.
- Run the .exe. A simple GUI will walk you through installation.
Commandline Installation:
Examples:
"DeviceMasterInstaller.exe /?" to get a list of its options.
"DeviceMasterInstaller.exe -install 4 2" is an example that would install 2
DeviceMaster 1ports, without mac or
ip info.
"DeviceMasterInstaller.exe -iniinstall test.ini PheonixDM1"
is an example that would install
profile PheonixDM1 from the test.ini
including mac and ip info.
YOU WILL NEED TO REBOOT AFTER AN
INI INSTALL BEFORE THE DEVICE WILL
FUNCTION!
Check the DeviceMasterInstaller.ini and example.bat for more information and examples.
