That link is broken for me.  Thanks for the info by the way.

Here is one message from you:

"I used multiple components.  Add the DIFxApp extension elements only to the 
component that holds the INF file.  It will work.

With DIFxApp, all files in all application components are installed as normal.  
So your driver will be installed into your application directory, along with 
all your other files.  What the DIFxApp element will do is add a custom action 
that runs at the end of setup to install the driver.  This custom action 
invokes DIFX to install the driver, and DIFX doesn't care what files were in 
what component - as long as you have the complete driver file tree installed, 
it will work."

Did you just miss the discussion that has been going on at this exact same 
moment?  Someone else is trying to do the same thing as you with DPInst.

Sorry, but your approach is broken.  I doubt you're considering many of the 
intricacies of Windows Installer.  Read my response at the end of
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=01cc01cd52ec%248842

You shouldn't use DPInst.  It isn't supported.  DIFxApp is the supported 
solution and works just fine - many of us use it without issue (mostly!).
