Download procedure
However "Windows Update Driver Publishing" states the three regular download method (Dynamic Update, Automatic Updating, Windows Update Site), I couldn't trigger any of them. But I could download the driver file through the Windows Update Catalog site successfully. ( Do not confuse "Windows Update Catalog" and "Windows Catalog" )
Some "Name" may be different from your system in the procedure below, as my system is Japanese and I translate it to English. Please re-translate if it doesn't match with yours exactly.
1) Enter to Windows Update site, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
2) Click "Administrator options" on left pane.
3) Click "Windows Update Catalog" on just under the "Update multiple operating systems"
4) Click "Search on updated drivers of Hardware Device" on the right pane.
5) Click "The other hardware" at the bottom.
6) Select "Silicon Laboratories Inc." from "Manufacture"
7) Select "Operating System" - "Windows XP Professional SP1" at the bottom is recommended, even if it isn't your OS.
8) Click "Search" button at the bottom right
You can see two items hit,
a)Silabs Software usb software update released on January 13 2004 (F32x USBXpress Device)
b)Silicon Laboratories usb software update released on March 11 2004 (CP2101 USB Composite Device)
9) Click "Add" button on the second item, (b) .
10) Click "Move to Download basket" on top center.
11) Enter "where to download" and click "Download Now" button
Downloaded file
7873484.cab ( under WU folder )
This cabinet file includes almost the same contents as the latest driver for windows from SiLabs. The differences are as follows.
latest from SiLabs Windows Update (March 11 2004)
slabbus.sys (date) 2004/03/25 18:37 2004/03/11 17:24
slabser.sys (date) 2004/03/25 18:36 2004/03/11 17:25
uninstall.ini (date) 2004/04/23 13:17 2004/03/15 15:29
unin98.exe (size) 208,896 192,512
unin98.ini (size) 200 168
slabwdm.inf (file) yes no
slabvxd.inf (file) yes no
Readme.txt (file) yes no
(date) the same contents but different time stamp
(size) size is different
(file) inculded in "the latest from SiLabs" version, but nothing in Windows-Update version
(listed up the files that have any difference.)
These differences seem to be caused by Win95 support, as the Windows Update doesn't support Win95. |
