Managing PnP Setups Using the PnPUtil Utility
You can use the PnPUtil utility to perform a driver installation from the command line. In addition,
the options let you remove or edit driver information based on the content of an INF file, which you
must always provide. This utility uses the following syntax:
PnPUtil.exe [-f | -i] [-a | -d | -e ]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
-f Forces the utility to perform the specified action (add, edit, or delete).
-i Performs a standardized installation when used with ??“a based on the INF content.
-a Adds the device driver specified by the INF file to the system. However, adding the device
driver simply makes it available for installation. You must combine this command line switch
with the ??“i command line switch to actually install the driver.
-d Deletes the device driver specified by the INF file from the system. The INF file normally
has oem, followed by a number, followed by INF, such as oem0.inf. Deleting an OEM (Original
Equipment Manufacturer) driver has the effect of uninstalling the device driver.
