It seems that an upgrade won't be of any use to me. In addition to the "Cannot
create a stable
subkey under a volatile parent key" issue I asked about on 24th March, I'm also
seeing the same
problem reported by James Johnston on 9th Dec 2010 entitled "DIFxApp does not
properly rollback to
the old driver when doing a major upgrade". The problem manifests as a log
entry reporting
"DIFXAPP: ERROR 0x2 encountered while opening persistent-info key for component
'{driver component
GUID}'" He reports his findings using WinDDK 7600.16385.1, so updating to WiX
3.5 won't help.
I'll see if the difx team email address (difxt...@microsoft.com) provided in a
reply by Quinton
Tormanen still works.
Thanks,
Rob
