Windows 7 journal note writer driver installation

Answered Windows 7 journal note writer driver installation

    I am trying to build a Windows 7 tablet pc. Everything works but when running Journal I get asked to install the writer printer driver.

    The driver installs but when a non admin tries UAC asks for a username and password.

    Is there a way of installing this driver for all users?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    You can Configure Computer Policy to Allow Non-Administrators to Install Specific Devices.

    Hey Paul, I realize your question above was quite awhile ago, but did you ever find a solution to this? I am looking to do the very same thing you were asking about - install the Journal Note Writer Driver for all users.

    Thanks,

    Jeremy

    Hello Juke Chou,

    I need help with this issue and I have not found a way to implement the solution that you offer. I am not able to find the ClassGUID for the Journal Note Writer Print Driver.

    Do you have any further help on this topic?

    Hello Juke Chou,

    I appreciate your prompt response.

    I've tried the solution that you have offered and found that it still does not allow a non-admin user to install the Journal Note Writer Print Driver. Could it be because it isn't an actual "physical" device that is reason for your solution not working? Any help is appreciated.

    I went ahead and created a new thread - http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/7e1b6ce8-0ed1-45d4-a489-abb24af8c5d4

    Thanks,
