I am installing a driver using my own install.exe and the *.sys file. I cannot 
use wix difx to install the driver for some reason.

Difx element has an attribute DeleteFiles which will delete the *.sys file at 
the end of installation if set TRUE.

Interestingly, DIFX installation process seems to be:

Step 1.  install sys file to the application installation directory,
Step 2. DIFX install the sys file to c:\windows\system32 directory,
Step 3. The sys file is deleted from application installation directory.

I want to duplicate the process with my own install.exe. So to delete the *.sys 
file from the application installation directory, I plan to use a custom action 
at the end of InstallExecuteSequence.

Since custom action is always the last choice, I am wonder whether there is a 
more decent way achieve this. For example, can this sys file be deleted 
declaratively using existing WIX element?

Thanks for any clue.


Thanks
Lian
