How to install a .INF file?

clutchc · May 20, 2015

I have an MSI 970 GAMING board with a Killer network adapter in it.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/970-GAMING.html#hero-overview
There are two files available for the LAN driver;
1) Killer Network Driver
2) Killer Network Driver (driver only)

I want to install just the driver and not the Killer Network Manager package. But the "driver only" file is a .INF file. When I try to install it, I get the error message "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation". Any idea how it is intended to be installed?

Hello... an "inf' file just has the device naming information that gets displayed in your Device manger... it is not a 'sys" or "drv" file needed for the hardware communication.

Yeah, I know that. But when you right-click on it, you get the "install" option in the context-sensitive menu. How is one expected to "manually" install that file as the MSI web page says? Quote:
1. For Killer Onboard LAN driver without Killer Network Manager.
2. Killer Onboard Lan driver Inf file need to be install manually.

How'd you find that...lol. I've been searching for a half hour for an exe for driver only. Thanks. I'll give that try tomorrow.

You need more than just the INF file for the driver, you actually need the driver file. See if Cannon support has it.

I have the full driver with 2 CAB but the problem seems to be the INF

When I use "have a disk" it accept it . but no devices shows up !!!

BTW: when I open "Scanner and Camera", Windows show me the Cannonscan. I can see it as well in Device Manager.

That's it .. all the other piece of Windows doesn't see it.

Hello... If it is in your Device manager then the driver is istalled... Maybe you need to set a ADMIN security setting for your "Scanner and Camera" to make available for use with your programs... OR enable.
