That is the problem. Imagine that yuou have to install /register drivers for 5 PCMCIA cards and each of the card consists of cca 5 HW devices. Each device needs its own inf, cat and sys file. Some sys files are even shared between devices. You will end up with 25 directories with multiple duplicated files in them. I know that this is the way the DPinst.exe works (it will create these directories in the %Windows%\system32\DRVSTORE directory ), but I think it is a bit ugly. DPinst.exe is able to install drivers from one directory so why the DIFxApp needs each driver package in its own directory?
