+devcon [/r] install INFfile HardwareID 
+}}}
+
+Parameters:
+  /r::    Conditional reboot. Reboots the system after completing an operation when a reboot is required to make the change effective. By default, DevCon does not reboot the system.
+
+  INFfile::    Specifies the full path and file name of the INF file for the device. If you omit the path, DevCon assumes that the file is in the current directory.
+
+  HardwareID::    Specifies a hardware ID for the device.
+    The specified hardware ID must exactly match the hardware ID of the device. Patterns are not valid. Do not type a single quote character (') to indicate a literal value.
+
+partly working:
+{{{
+devcon.exe install c:\tmp\HECI\HECI.inf "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_29B4"
+}}}
+Device is added twice. One time correctly, other with warning. Broken driver has exactly the hardware device given.
+
+Hint from
+http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/17532-unattended-install-for-inf-drvers/ :
+
+use update (or updateni for non-interactive) to prevent this problem.
+
+{{{
+devcon.exe update c:\tmp\HECI\HECI.inf "PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_29B4"
