I'm wondering if anyone can help me on how to install the inf file from Hamgadgets for the IDOM4 controller.

Did you read the words in the Setup Guide? It pretty much tells you exactly what to do.

Is there a specific step, error, or problem you are running into? What, exactly do you need?

Yeah when I run the executable zip file it says invalid signature, which I take means the file is not some how recognized in the Windows platform. Been a few years since I've work with computers. Maybe I'm overlooking something?

its a very easy step by step process.  Pretty hard not to get it the first time.  You will need to install and use PUTTY which  is free,  The instructions allso show you how to download and install PUTTY.

What version and flavor of Windows are you running?

Also, i had to emulate Windows 10 when i installed on my Windows 11 machine.  If i remember, you right click on the executable and choose Windows 10 emulation.   but i honesty can't remember.    something to google..    also might help to run your zip extraction in Admin Mode,,  another right flight, run as administrator

Running Windows 11. For some reason now I'm wondering if the 11 upgrade did emulate in the registry. I did get putty installed, I'll figure it out, but thank you all for your comments and suggestions.

WRUE951, thanks I ran it in admin mode and voila it worked. All installed and running like a champ. Something so easy to overlook, and it just takes a comment or a suggestion from somebody else to try, and the rest is history.

I will throw this out when using Windows 11.   For some reason i found ID O Matic needed a reboot about every 2-3 days because the time function by Windows 11 would lock up the I D O Matic. ID O Matic seems to use addresses from the Windows clock.  I'm not sure if they addressed this, i had the problem about 1.5 years ago.  It worked flawlessly when programed via Windows 10 Laptop but I ended up going to Open Repeater with an ICS for a controller.  Since then i have aquired a repeater with a built in controller so not messing with controllers anymore.   The ID O Matic was just o.k. but i enjoyed the ICS controller a whole lot better.  In fact, i may end up implementing it back to my existing repeater.
