MSP430F5659: Preparation of installer(exe)?

Hi TI team,

We are trying to install the driver msp430_ti_signed.inf using a batch file. It is successfully installs without any issue's.

Batch file has some limitation on the location which creates problem in wrap our batch file with application.

For e.g.    It is not working from program Files folder, even with admin rights due to the below reasons

                            a) pnputil used in our script not handling the space in folder names. If space exist in folder name it wont work

                            b)  Permission issue in program Files folder

 

Clarification Required:

1. Can you please suggest how to convert inf file to exe(Installer)? Is it possible to convert inf file to exe(installer) using bit rocker?

2. Can you suggest any other tools to convert inf file to exe (installer) other than bit rocker?

3. We believe preparing a installer will solve permission issue in restricted folders like program Files. Please advice us on the 3 points

Thanks and Regards

Manoj

    Hello Jaimonoj,

    Unfortunately, neither TI nor MSP430 have a recommendation for a specific method of turning the USB inf to an .exe. From a quick search on the web, I saw that most .exe builders will do the trick for you. I'm sorry I cannot help you further, but hopefully another community member of this forum has done something similar to you and provide their input.

    Hi TI team,


    1.We are able to install the signed driver(msp430_ti_signed.inf) manually without any warning.

    2. So we prepared a batch file with below command
             pnputil -i -a "C:\Driver_Check\msp430_ti_signed.inf"

    We are able to successfully install the driver. If run the batch file as administrator without any warnings


    3. We try to wrap the batch file with application itself. Means when install the application it invokes the batch files automatically.
       During this time we get unsigned warning but installation happens.


    Note: If we manually executed the batch file signed driver installs successfully without anywarning
          If installer invokes the batch file it gives unsigned warning but installation happens.


    Kindly advice why this warning occurs if we try to automate even we are use signed drivers.

    Thanks and Regards

    Manoj

    Hello Manoj,

    I've combined your threads here as they are on the same topic. Please stick tot his thread when discussing this topic.

    I do not have an answer for you about why the warning pops up. This seems to be something more on the Windows side of things rather than specific to MSP430 USB.

    You could use NSIS "http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

    It allows for creating .exe windows installers, running commands such as "pnputil", and requesting admin level during installation.
