Most are familiar with the FTDI usb to serial converter. I am working with a FTDI IC that has been programmed to only work with a specific driver.

I have the driver, the hardware, and the computer.

I am creating a GUI to interface. I don't know how to tell the computer to make the COM port I open only work with that driver.

Note that the driver doesn't even show up when I try to connect.

I have been working with serial ports for 5 years, VB.NET for 1 full time.

I am hoping to make this happen without adding the ini or dll files directly do the computer...manually.

Thoughts? Thanks.
