    I was given an application that calls a driver which also calls interrupts at H/W level in order to update that BIOS of a ceratin laptop. However, I was asked to develop the application in such a way that I won't have to install the driver manually anymore just to activate the interrupts for the BIOS update. Is it possible to do so and if yes, how can I proceed. The application by the way was made in Visual C++ ver. 6.0. Thanks. :)

      Yes, you can install a driver programatically. You can use setupcopyoeminf() or you can create the service key entry directly, and set the driver to autostart.

      Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception
