Thanks again for your help

Because of the many installations and deinstallations i have done for
testing in the past my driver path already exists in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\InstallLocationsMRU.
I have resigned as far the inf file is concerned and will advise our
customers to manually point to the location of it. Unfortunately, a new
problem arises. When the wizard executes my inf file and wants to install
the driver, it comes up again and asks me for the location of the driver
file. This is funny because it lies within the same folder. I didn't provide
a path within my inf file because the DDK and SDK documention mentions that
all paths are relative to the installation root which is where the inf file
is located.
Does anyone know how I can at leat avoid the second browser box to pop up
that asks for the location of the driver?

Regards, Chris
