Installing a Driver

To install a driver, follow these steps:

1. Click the New button. The Install Driver dialog box appears.
2. Enter the full path to the driver to install in the Driver Inf File field. You may click the Browse button to specify an INF file that is part of your setup, or you may refer to pre-existing files on the target system.
