Getting rid of the New Hardware Found Wizard...

I have been working on updating a printer driver from NT to XP - now almost
there.

I am getting the XP New Hardware Wizard popping up to say it has found new
hardware (the printer).

How can I switch this off? - as my drivers are already installed ok

I have found the printer is entered in the registry under
HKLM\Sysrem\CurrentControlSet\Enum\LPTENUM

The drivers are installed via a .msi package with a .inf file detailing the
installation. This is as per the NT legacy that the new driver replaces.

The files are copied (which includes a language monitor), the registry
updated, and a couple of services added.

The printer appears in the printer group, and works normally. The problem is
this New hardware found wizard popping up. I need to find how to switch this
off. The plug and play stuff in the DDK looks a nightmare to understand...

This printer is installed in an ATM (cash machine)

Would it help if I posted the .inf file?
 
Are you manually copying the files and updating the registry ? Try using
the SetupCopyOEMInf() API.
