I am using WixDifxAppExtension to install a printer driver as part of an
application installer. The WiX source is as follows:
<Component Id="GSDriver" Guid="..." >
<File Id="GSDriver_INF" Vital="yes" KeyPath="yes"
Source="GSDriver.inf"/>
<File Id="GSDriver_CAT" Vital="yes" Source="GSDriver.cat"/>
<File Id="GSDriver_PPD" Vital="yes" Source="GSDriver.ppd"/>
<difx:Driver DeleteFiles="yes" PlugAndPlayPrompt="no"
ForceInstall="yes" Legacy="yes" />
</Component>
The corresponding custom actions apparently complete successfully. However, the
install log file includes the lines:
DIFXAPP: INFO: No matching devices found in INF "...\GSDriver.inf" on the
Machine.
DIFXAPP: INFO: No drivers installed. No devices found that match driver(s)
contained in '...\GSDriver.inf'
and a subsequent attempt to add a printer fails with a "driver not found" error.
I've tried various combinations of yes/no values for the attributes in the
Driver element (mostly out of desperation) but the outcome is the same each
time.
The log file is correct in that there is not (and will not be) a matching
device at install time but, as I understand it, it should be possible to
"preinstall" the driver: my question is how do I make that happen with WiX?
