Well, I've downloaded WiX 2 and I'm going to create a merge module for my
device drivers that I will merge into my WiX 3 installer. My big issue now
is, where can I find the Windows DDK so I can use DIFxApp with WiX? I know
this probably isn't the place to ask, but I'm guessing someone here has used
it and knows where it can be found. The Microsoft site is pointing me to
Microsoft Connect and MSDN, neither of which are turning up anything for
me. Does the DDK need to be purchased? If so, is there any way to obtain
the DIFxApp/WiX stuff for free (as that's all I need)? I should mention,
we're only supporting WinXP SP2 or greater, if that makes a difference in
terms of which DDK I need.
Thanks for the help so far, it's really appreciated.
