Hi My attempts at creating an msi using wix fail miserably. The msi installs a bunch of files, registers fonts, creates shortcuts. That is all easy to do.
This is what i do not know how to tacke: Have wix to produce an msi that includes: an exe say installdriver.exe, a driver file say drv.sys, an inf file say drv.inf (none of the files should be installed) and instruct it to run installdriver.exe during installation. installdriver is legacy code and what it does is install the drv.sys and drv.inf to some dir and register the driver with the system. All this can be 'done' via wix DIFxApp but this is broken in wix 3 so it cannot be done until the bug is fixed in wix 3. So i am falling back to using the old installerdriver.exe installerdriver.exe expects drv.sys and drv.inf to be located in the same dir from where it is being run. Any thoughts. thanks Antoine _________________________________________________________________ The average US Credit Score is 675.
