I've just switched from our own custom action (calling a DLL function)
to using DIFxApp with WiX. I've found that I have to leave the
DriverPlugAndPlayPrompt set to "yes", or the install will fail on Vista
if my USB device isn't plugged in when the install runs. However, almost
as bad, I've found that on Vista, with this prompt enabled, the prompt
shows up entirely hidden behind the Windows Installer UI, which leaves
the user with only the Cancel button enabled and a hidden prompt. This
is definitely going to mess up a lot of our customers.
I realize that this question is on the fine line between DIFx and WiX,
but I'm hoping that there is a workaround in WiX, or perhaps someone
with experience with using DIFx in WiX that can help with this issue:
How do I make the DriverPlugAndPlayPrompt either display in FRONT of my
UI, or not at all on Windows Vista?
Thanks!
