System and method for providing hardware driver installation

摘要

System and method for implementation of an install system that provides for installing a driver for a hardware device on a computer system. The install system includes a decision mechanism that determines if the hardware device is connected to the computer system, and a user interface that instructs a user to connect the hardware device if it is determined that the hardware device is not connected to the computer system. A driver installer then installs the driver for the hardware device if it is determined that the hardware device is connected to the computer system. The method for installing a driver for a hardware device on a computer system includes the steps of determining if the hardware device is connected to the computer system, instructing a user to connect the hardware device if it is determined that the hardware device is not connected to the computer system, and then installing the driver for the hardware device if it is determined that the hardware device is connected to the computer system.
