Window OS: Flash Forge Flash Print

During installation, the application prompts for a device driver installation. Currently, we lack the capability to dynamically extract drivers and certificates from the vendor provided downloads in real-time, which prevents us from including this application in our catalog.

This application could be a potential candidate for our Custom Apps feature.
