Hi,
I am trying to create setup file to install device drivers with usbr.inf,
usbr.cat, and SiLib.sys, SiUSBXp.sys files, with using Difx tool to install.
when I run the code only with .inf and .cat files those files copied into
DRVSTORE, but when I try to include .sys files, I am getting error:
I dunno. I'm inclined to stick with the abstraction principle and trust that
the /uninstall option will undo everything done by the /install option.
So I only have two custom actions but several applicable scenarios:
* Install - RunInstallCmd
* Rollback Install - RunUninstallCmd
* Repair - Run
My recommendation would be to perform any other activities that the service
performs itself during /install in a Windows Installer friendly fashion. The
reason is that Windows Installer (and WiX standard custom actions) behave more
robustly in the face of failures and associated rollback scenari
Hi Edwin,
I suspected this would be the case -- writing a custom action. The service
however must be executed with the /install option before it can be started so
unless there's an alternative to writing a custom action, this is the only
possible solution.
Thanks for the help.
Eric.

any command line arguments you need to specify when the service starts up.
I guess that you currently have Arguments="/install" because you expect msiexec
to execute your service to register the service. That's not how
works. does

Yes, Team Foundation Server.
Here is a link. http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/archive/2006/08/29/4078.aspx
It's a little old, but there is a way to do the same type of thing for Wix.
What I did was create a wix include file that has this in it

Sorry, but what is TFS? Are you referring to Team Foundation Server? If
so, then no, we do not use that.

Followup. I have a better idea what the problem is. Either msiexec is not
"installing" the service by executing it with the proper /install argument or
it is not executing the install command with Administrator privileges.

Out of interest, does anyone know what the forums are supposed to be for
