Hi,
I was looking at this earlier. Found this link which gives an example:

Never got around to using it yet, though.

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

And I kindof think that if WiX is building a merge module, it wouldn't be

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

For redisting to other... probably. Unless everyone is using the WiX toolset.

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
(even if they are really supposed to be the same thing. Here's some log output
since you asked for it :)

If the rows are duplicate, I thought mergemod.dll would let them through. Is
it more accurate to say that the DIFxApp actions Id's have been modularized and
that is colliding?
Can you maybe share out a merge.log that shows the merge problems?

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