Visioneer 4400

Downloaded the driver vis4400.exe but when I go through adding hardware I click on 'have disk' then select d:\vis4400.exe

The file extension defaul is *.inf - if I amend this to .exe it does find it but wont allow me to select it (ie click on 'open')

What can I do to rectify this?

Sounds the like driver is compressed. Double click the file via Explorer and see what happens. It might prompt for a location to unpack to (which will then give you a .inf file) or it might just install the drivers for you.

Hardware info has to be in .inf (AND the correct format). The Inf is a simple text file, so you binary (.exe) won't work.

Have you tried running the .exe program. It'll either run it's own install routine or will extract the drivers to a folder. You would then point the hardware install to look in that folder.

the .exe file does 'install' the driver but I have no idea where???

Don't say "have disk" then - let Windows show you a list of devices and you may find it's already in that list for you to choose.

Try installing the drivers first & then connecting the scanner.

Worked for me

use winzip or winrar to extract the .exe to a new folder in "my documents"

then point the wizzard to that location.
