On Windows XP, we ask the user to update the HID driver with your
driver by navigating to the directory with appropriate .inf file. This
works fine.

On Windows 7 this does not work, the user is always prompted "Windows
has determined that the driver software is up to date"  If, on the
other hand, the user selects "Add legacy hardware" in the device
manager, he can navigate to the .inf file install it and see the board
(for example a Velleman 8055, Velleman 8061 or Nikon AZ100 microscope)
 HOWEVER, at this point, the testlibusb.exe program still sees only an
empty bus, as does my own program USBEnumerator.   But if I use the
inf-Wizard to freshly generate a new .inf file and then press the
"Install now..." button I am able to communicate with the device.  The
output of the testlibusb.exe us good per attached output.
We would really like to have the user be able to install the .inf
files we ship in our installer, but currently we have no way to do
that.  What is the purpose of the installer_xXX.exe programs? How do I
run  them? will they solve my problem?
