Virtual Modem PRO - Driver installation
You may integrate our Virtual Modem Pro and virtual serial port technology into
your own programs by using vm_service.exe and other required files.
To do
this you should obtain Virtual Modem PRO [OEM license], register it and then
utilize all the benefits of our technology directly from your software, so that
your clients will not even know that you are using third-party libraries to
achieve certain functionality.
Attention! This method is applicable for OEM version
only. You don't need (and won't be able) to do this with standard
single-licensed Virtual Modem PRO package.
Installing Virtual Modem PRO driver under Microsoft Windows 2000/XP
The following files should be copied to the target machine's temporary (permanent) installation directory (you can find these files in NT5 directory).
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| Vsb.inf | .INF file is needed for correct installation of virtual serial bus driver |
| Vsb.sys | Virtual Serial Bus Driver |
| Vsbsetup.exe | Executable that will silently install virtual serial bus driver |
| Vserial.inf | .INF file is needed for correct installation of virtual serial port driver |
| Vserial.sys | Virtual Serial Port driver |
After all these files are copied to target machine, your installation program should execute "vsbsetup.exe" without any parameters. This will register vsb.sys in the system and load it.
If you plan to provide end-customer with uninstall option, you should keep "vsbsetup.exe" on target system. As soon as uninstallation is required, you should execute "vsbsetup.exe /u". This will safely remove virtual serial bus from target system. No reboot will be required.
Installing Virtual Modem PRO driver under 64-bit Microsoft Windows XP/2003
The following files should be copied to the target machine's temporary (permanent) installation directory (you can find these files in NT5x64 directory).

| Vsb.inf | .INF file is needed for correct installation of virtual serial bus driver |
| Vsb.sys | Virtual Serial Bus Driver |
| Vsbsetup.exe | Executable that will silently install virtual serial bus driver |

The following files should be copied to the target machine temporary (permanent) installation directory (you can find these files in NT4 directory).
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| Vsprt_nt4.sys | Virtual Serial Port Device Driver for NT4 |
| vsbsetupnt.exe | Executable that will silently install virtual serial port driver |
After all these files are copied to target machine, your installation program should execute "vsbsetupnt.exe" without any parameters. This will register vsprt_nt4.sys in the system and load it.
If you plan to provide end-customer with uninstall option, you should keep "vsbsetupnt.exe" on target system. As soon as uninstallation is required, you should execute "vsbsetupnt.exe /u". This will safely remove virtual serial bus from target system. No reboot required.

- NT4 for Windows NT4
- NT5 for Windows 2000, XP and 2003
- NT5x64 for 64-bit Windows XP/2003 versions
Along mentioned drivers you must copy vspdxp_install.exe file. To start installation process execute vspdxp_install.exe command. In order to uninstall virtual serial bus execute "vspdxp_install.exe /u" command.
