STM32 DFU driver - Install Without DfuSe Demo?

I'm looking for a way to install the driver for STM32F4's DFU mode.

In my installer, I can include the DfuSe Demo installer, but I'd rather not have DfuSe Demo as a part of the install process just to get the drivers.

In DfuSe Demo's docs, it mentions that there is a STDFU.inf available, yet I haven't been able to locate it. Where can I get this from? Alternatively, is there a better method to install just the STDFU driver without also installing DfuSe Demo?

Thanks!

In case anyone else has this problem, I figured it out.

I was installing DfuSe Demo because I needed to use STDFU.dll for updating my STM32F4's firmware, yet simply including that dll in my install folder wasn't enough.

I eventually used ''Dependency Walker'' to see what the hold up was, and it turns out that STDFU.dll links to some dlls used from the Visual C++ 2013 runtime:

mfc120.dll & msvcr120.dll. Including those in my install fixed my problem, and no more need to install DfuSe Demo.
