Hi,

It doesn't need user input.

It's not really configuration, it's really installation: the driver is
copied into C:\WINDOWS\... and a service is registered.

Fortunately it doesn't.

Well, since we touch drivers, I'd prefer to leave as is. But since
at least one user asked for installation to be done automatically, I
preferred to ask for advice.

Thanks for the answer,
Samuel
