I'm trying to write an application that will accomplish, behind the scenes, the exact same thing as if you go into Device Manager, bring up Properties for a particular Network Adapter, click on Update Driver (from the Driver tab), and work through the Upgrade Device Driver Wizard. Now, originally, I was expecting that there was an executable that gets launched when you click on Update Driver - and I was prepared to programmatically send the Wizard the specified information (by retrieving handles to the window and buttons, etc.) - but it doesn't appear to me that there actually *is* any such executable! It all *appears* to just be part of the Device Manager. So, I'm asking, is there a better way to upgrade a driver, bypassing the wizard entirely, or is there in fact a way to harness the wizard? Any help would be *greatly* appreciated!<br />

Thank you!

I need to update a device driver programmatically!

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.

System Utilities

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
