Install Drivers for MSP430 Code Composer Without Installing Code Composer

I'm writing a batch file, and for this part of it I need to install the drivers for the MSP430 code composer, but I'd like to not have to install the entire application itself. I'd really just like somebody to point me in the direction of a .zip file with the 64 bit and 32 bit .dll and .lib files and a .inf or two to use in installation. 

Let me know if there are any questions! Thanks in advance!

    What do you plan to do with a .dll file from a batch file? You can't call into that directly. Are you looking to use mspdebug with the FET?

    Try this page: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Open_Source_Projects_-_MSP430?keyMatch=mspdebug&tisearch=Search-EN

    Hey,

    Thanks for your response, and sorry for my late response.

    What I'm looking to do is just have the port show up in Device Manager when I plug in the MSP430.

    Mostly I'm looking to have the "MSP Application UART1" port show up, but I think I'd also need to have the "MSP Debug Interface" port show up.

    I'm trying to do so using a batch file, so having a .inf file to install the .dll files with would be the ideal situation.

    Edit: I also looked at that site you gave me, and I downloaded the driver library for the MSP430, but it was mostly cpp files and h files. I'm not sure that's what I was really looking for. You may know if it is or isn't?

    Edit2: I also thought I should reiterate that I'm trying to do all this without installing CCS

    Edit3: I've also found this forum: http://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/msp430/f/166/t/126995.aspx which seems to allude to the fact that I could find them somewhere in the install folder of CCS.

    EDIT_SOLUTION: I found a .inf file in the folder  C:\ti\ccsv6\ccs_base\emulation\drivers\msp430\USB_CDC where ti is the folder CSS is installed to.  I used the .cat and .inf file in a batch install with the MSP430 plugged in and both ports are shown.

    AFAIK, the installation files for the drivers are found in the CCS installation folder. So you only need a system where CCS is already installed, to copy themand install them on the target.
