Help to install drivers

Ok, I got drivers for Windows 98 and managed to install it, device works
properly now.
Since "Add new hardware wizard" was not shown after attaching device, I went
to System Properties, Device manager, found this device and use Update
driver button, this launched Add new hardware wizard, then specified path to
drivers. But device still not worked. So I rebooted PC, and after rebooting
system popup this 'Add new hardware wizard ', so i went through the same
steps still twice - so total it required three times to install. This point
not fully clear, since there was specified that process(Add new hardware
dialog) repeats twice.
The bad thing is I forgot to run first InCtrl5 utility to make system
snapshot, so next time i need search for location of all this drivers when I
want to remove it.

Thank you.

Because its not an INF installation [that came from the NT ONLY
attempted installation], its from the *executable installer*....
A present the device doesn't exist, nor will anything be shown [except
unknown driver or can not find driver]. You *DON'T* use "Add New
Hardware", and close it if automatically opened when booting [but not if
opened *BY the installer* {including after a re-boot after
installation}].

The only potential MANUAL way is to expand [if possible] the
installation exe file.
*** That however, is *NOT* what you need to use for installation as the
device MAY require other changes, that the *installer* will determine
*DURING* installation...

THAT is what the first few lines of the readme were trying to explain
to you...
- Install the device as instructed in your CP210x Evaluation Kit
along with the Virtual Serial Port Drivers.
- Run PreInstaller.exe included in this USBXpress package. Click
'Continue Anyway' if prompted.

IF and only *IF* the installer just expands the file into an
installation folder/directory THEN direct the hardware wizard to that
folder, otherwise that should be automatically taken care of by the
installer.

THIS IS the standard operating procedure [SOP] for NORMAL installation
of devices... when confronting an executable either check for expansion
capabilities [zip or otherwise] OR RUN the executable.

The device is simple RFID Reader, I already installed it on win XP,
now
just
want install on win 98SE.
The Reader is USB bridge to COM way. Installing the driver will
create
a
virtual COM port. There are no additional instructions how to
install
driver
for win 98. In manufacturer's website specified that device support
Windows
98\2000\XP\NT\ME\Vista, but they only have CP210x Windows Driver
v4.40
for
NT systems available for download on website.
I read the USBXpress Development Kit v2.42 Readme, but they
instructions
so
vague, it's difficult to understand how to install that driver.

The directory/folder to check is/was the {drive}:\%windir%\INF

is a hidden folder, you must have "Show all files" and "Do not hide

Use Search/Find "CP210*" within the folder to check for any
previous
installation attempts.
I previously explained HOW to remove any left over installed
files
and
other from previous installation attempts.
The REASON to check for improper INF files is to avoid doubled
drivers
and/or information which may conflict or be invalid.

I installed the USBXpress development kit, it place all files in
C:\SiLabs\MCU\USBXpress, without placing any shortcuts.
So its not fully clear how to install drivers? Some steps in
Readme
file
is
not clear: what meant step 2 - should I first attach USB device,
then
run
PreInstaller.exe(step 3)? Step 4 not clear: where to change this P

0xEA61 ??

--------
Installing the Driver [Relevant Devices: CP2101/2/3]:
This presumes you actually have a 1, 2, or 3 version...

Operating Systems: Windows 98SE/2000/XP

- This procedure assumes that you have a CP210x device with
factory
VID (0x10C4) and PID (0xEA60).
This is the referenced PID and VID. You only need to follow the
below
unless you are programming {etc.} using this device, see the manual
for
full information..
Device needs to be hooked-up {per below}, *HOWEVER* I highly
recommend
downloading the manual and reading first.

- Install the device as instructed in your CP210x Evaluation
Kit
along with the Virtual Serial Port Drivers.
- Run PreInstaller.exe included in this USBXpress package.
Click
'Continue Anyway' if prompted.
This is the driver prep package. Note any information shown...

- Use the CP210xSetIDs.exe program to change the PID to
0xEA61.
This program is used to manually set/check the actual PID for
the
device.. look at the supplied *manual* [available from the same
link
if
not included]...

- When Windows brings up the the "New Hardware" wizard, choose
the default option marked "Recommended" and click 'Next'.
- Click 'Continue Anyway' if prompted. Click 'Finish' to
complete
the installation.
- To verify, check in "Device Manager" under 'Universal Serial
Bus
Controllers'. There should be an entry for 'USBXpress Device'.
--------------
This describes the normal pop-up device installation window, a
potential question and the answer "continue anyway", and verifies
installation using Control Panel Device Manager Universal
Serial
Devices HUB/Controller sub-entry = USBExpress Device - on
one of
the branches.

Check the identifier and for the device [using the above CP
DM
USD/B] and use the cp210xsetids again if necessary AFTER a
re-boot.
IF
changed, RUN "scanreg" to save the registry modification; re-boot;
and
check again.

HOPEFULLY you will not find you have a driver conflict due to
the
prior installation attempts. IF SO and you didn't follow the advise
to
check for prior failed installation files, un-install the new
driver,
and use the prior manual check for files and removals which I
previously
outlined...

What are you going to use this device for???

The "drivers" you are attempting to install are for NT based
systems,
you need the development kit which also apparently includes a 9X
driver,
which I previously linked to.

*IF* you were familiar with modifications of existing NT
drivers
for
9X usage you MIGHT be able to force a usage though likely not, as
they
are designed to work in conjunction with HAL and other aspects of
the
NT
environment...

98\2000\XP\NT\ME\Vista, but they only have CP210x Windows Driver
v4.40
for
NT systems available for download on website.
I read the USBXpress Development Kit v2.42 Readme, but they
instructions
so
vague, it's difficult to understand how to install that driver.

Obviously I can't supply much more unless I purchase the device,
which
is beyond the intent of this forum... try the actual support forums
and
information links...

well, I find no drivers installed in windows system directory.
The directory/folder to check is/was the {drive}:\%windir%\INF
which
is a hidden folder, you must have "Show all files" and "Do not hide
known file extensions" set [folder/View Options] to see the folder.
Use Search/Find "CP210*" within the folder to check for any
previous
installation attempts.
I previously explained HOW to remove any left over installed
files
and
other from previous installation attempts.
The REASON to check for improper INF files is to avoid doubled
drivers
and/or information which may conflict or be invalid.

I installed the USBXpress development kit, it place all files in
C:\SiLabs\MCU\USBXpress, without placing any shortcuts.
So its not fully clear how to install drivers? Some steps in
Readme
file
is
not clear: what meant step 2 - should I first attach USB device,
then
run
PreInstaller.exe(step 3)? Step 4 not clear: where to change this P
ID
to
0xEA61 ??

--------
Installing the Driver [Relevant Devices: CP2101/2/3]:
This presumes you actually have a 1, 2, or 3 version...

Operating Systems: Windows 98SE/2000/XP

- This procedure assumes that you have a CP210x device with
factory
VID (0x10C4) and PID (0xEA60).
This is the referenced PID and VID. You only need to follow the
below
unless you are programming {etc.} using this device, see the manual
for
full information..
Device needs to be hooked-up {per below}, *HOWEVER* I highly
recommend
downloading the manual and reading first.

- Install the device as instructed in your CP210x Evaluation
Kit
along with the Virtual Serial Port Drivers.
- Run PreInstaller.exe included in this USBXpress package.
Click
'Continue Anyway' if prompted.
This is the driver prep package. Note any information shown...

- Use the CP210xSetIDs.exe program to change the PID to
0xEA61.
This program is used to manually set/check the actual PID for
the
device.. look at the supplied *manual* [available from the same
link
if
not included]...

- When Windows brings up the the "New Hardware" wizard, choose
the default option marked "Recommended" and click 'Next'.
- Click 'Continue Anyway' if prompted. Click 'Finish' to
complete
the installation.
- To verify, check in "Device Manager" under 'Universal Serial
Bus
Controllers'. There should be an entry for 'USBXpress Device'.
--------------
This describes the normal pop-up device installation window, a
potential question and the answer "continue anyway", and verifies
installation using Control Panel Device Manager Universal
Serial
Devices HUB/Controller sub-entry = USBExpress Device - on
one of
the branches.

Check the identifier and for the device [using the above CP
DM
USD/B] and use the cp210xsetids again if necessary AFTER a
re-boot.
IF
changed, RUN "scanreg" to save the registry modification; re-boot;
and
check again.

HOPEFULLY you will not find you have a driver conflict due to
the
prior installation attempts. IF SO and you didn't follow the advise
to
check for prior failed installation files, un-install the new
driver,
and use the prior manual check for files and removals which I
previously
outlined...

What are you going to use this device for???

I tried re-install via Update Driver button, but not help.

The "drivers" you are attempting to install are for NT based
systems,
you need the development kit which also apparently includes a 9X
driver,
which I previously linked to.

*IF* you were familiar with modifications of existing NT
drivers
for
9X usage you MIGHT be able to force a usage though likely not, as
they
are designed to work in conjunction with HAL and other aspects of
the
NT
environment...
