Wow, really? That takes me to here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790289.aspx
where there's a single line of code, namely: <Component Id="C__70708CBF27634C5FB5295CDE6954A1BB" Guid="953D30C9-5CCC-D5AE-3AF3-6CF9823200B0" DriverForceInstall="no" DriverSequence="0"> going further takes me to here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163212.aspx Where the promised code is nowhere to be found. No links, nothing, no way to get sample code. I did my homework. Nothing like this exists on the microsoft website. Every question asked on this forum about driver installation ends up with absolutely zero responses, or something about writing my own action, or something involving WiX 2 and not WiX 3. How do I do these things? All I want to do is install an inf and an sys. It should seriously take at most ten lines of code. I have this so far: ... xmlns:dfx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/DifxAppExtension";> ... <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id='SystemFolder' Name='System32' /> ... <DirectoryRef Id="SystemFolder"> <Component Id="cyusb" Guid="954D30C8-5CDC-D6AB-3AF6-6CF9823200B3"> <File Id="cyusb.inf" Source="..\Includes\cyusb.inf" /> <File Id="cyusb.sys" Source="..\Includes\cyusb.sys" /> <dfx:Driver Legacy="yes" ForceInstall="yes" DeleteFiles="yes"/> </Component> </DirectoryRef> And that just does not work. How do I make it work? Does it need to go into the driver directory? When I plug the USB device in, it should say, hey, I've got a new device here, and I'll go ahead and look for the driver for that device. It should then find this INF. That's all I want. I've spent two days on this, and I can't figure out the magic words I need to make this incantation work. Please.... help... me...
