I'm curious about this also. I've never really been asked to do driver
installation work and someone recently asking me to do this. They seemed to
be very fixated on the ability to write driver co-installers in C++. Is this
correct thinking or not? It seems with the declaritive nature of MSI/WiX
and the avoidance of procedural runtime code ( ala CA's and COM registration )
that you would want to avoid driver co-installers but perhaps this is not the
case for drivers.
I would appreciate everyones thoughts on this.
Thanks,

I would like to do the same using WiX. With the following code I am able to
copy the drivers to the System32 directory But not to the DriversStore.
My objective behide doing this is I would like have an installer( one .msi)
which installs drivers and the application.
