silent install of bar code scanner with devcon.exe

[ctyankeeinok]

I am writing a script (using AutoIT) to do a silent install of a HHP 4600 bar code scanner. I can install the scanner using the New Hardware Wizard with no problem. However, right clicking on the .inf file and selecting Install does nothing. I tried using the following to no avail:

rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 hhpcdc.inf

I tried devcon.exe and can get "close". If I plug in the scanner, the system recognizes it up to a point (basic name and red exclamation point in the Device Manager). I cancelled the New Hardware Wizard and ran the following:

devcon.exe install hhpcdc.inf USB\VID_0536^&PID_020A

The problem is that it installs one instance successfully and another unsuccessfully, so now I have two instances of the scanner in the Device Manager.

Can anyone shed some wisdom on how to correct this or another better method?
