Correct installation of USB device

We have developed a piece of USB hardware which communicates with the PC as if it is a RS232 device. The installation of the driver (it uses the 'standard' [url removed, login to view] from MS) is flaky. The device is connected for the first time, the driver is not always found, sometimes we need to enter paths manually in the hardware wizard, not all PCs seem to have this driver on their disk by default, etc. We need an application (can be an executable or part of a installshield like application) that installs the correct driver when the USB device is plugged in for the first time after the application ran. Possibly there is something wrong in our .inf file as well, if so, this needs to be corrected. Additionally we need an application that will clean an incorrectly installed driver from the system in case the user plugged the driver in before the software was installed. It needs to run correctly on both Windows XP and Vista.
