I have a PCI device that is a multiport serial adapter. The installation procedure is to use an INF that uses mf.sys to enumerate X number of serial ports. Once they have been enumerated I can install my driver package for each serial port.
Using WiX to create an installer for this scenario, I have two components. I use sequence numbers to specify the installation order. When I run the installer it enumerates the serial ports and thinks it's finished. I'm suspicious that the installer finishes before the ports have enumerated so my second component never executes. Is there a way to force the second component to wait for the first to completely finish installation?
