Hello.
I'm new to installers and wix in particular, therefore, maybe, stupid 
question, but I didn't find answer on the surface.

I have a product 9for which I want to make an installer) that consists of:
1. kernel-mode driver, that is root-enumerable pnp device (software only);
2. accompanying service;
3. user-mode console application.

My driver can be installed through add new hardware wizard. The question 
is - how to do the same through Windows Installer (and wix)?
I tried to use Driver element from WixDifxAppExtension , but it doesn't seem 
to do the right job: it "preinstalls" the driver into DriverStore and 
prompts to connect the device to computer at the end of installation.

I know that I should use Custom Action, but question is: are there 
ready-to-use custom actions, or should I make my own?

Another question is about wix itself:
so far I have made an MSI file that checks OS version and admin privileges, 
prompts user for installation directory and copies files to target machine. 
It has the appearance of wizard, but with odd texts on the buttons (without 
arrows): "Next" rather than "Next >" etc. Is it normal?
