install. I'm not having any luck finding examples for the WixDifxAppExtension
driver element. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you,

a) Did you get the drivers installed manually. Think it should work
with context menu on inf driver + install. But to be honest I didn't
do it for a long time ;-)
b) Check out my configuration sample e.g. here:

The real question is how do you make that happen with DIFX. We,
unfortunately, do not own the DifxApp CustomAction which means we don't
control how it works. We just read their documentation and exposed it via
the WiX toolset...
I'm also not an expert on DIFX but there are some people on this lis
I am using WixDifxAppExtension to install a printer driver as part of an
application installer. The WiX source is as follows:
The corresponding custom actions apparently complete successfully. However, the
install log file includes the lines:

You're suggesting WixDifxAppExtension should use the WDK merge modules?
Interesting, assuming the merge modules are we

There actually are differences in the rows, since the binary table entries that
get added to the merge module get the merge module ID appended to them.
As a test, I manually modified the Binary table en
components directly to your own merge
module, right?

There is no DifxApp merge module in WiX. WixDifxAppExtension always

Hmm, that really surprises me. I thought that mergemod.dll was smarter than
that. There are no differences

Mergemod.dll doesn't like trying to merge rows with identical primary keys

There's no workaround at present. The DiFX library ships as a .wixlib
for WiX v2. WiX v3 can't read them. Either
