Does anyone have a contact for the DIFx group? I can't find a current e-mail
address. [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was listed in one of the
DIFx documents, but it's no longer valid.

I've just switched from our own custom action (calling a DLL function) to using
DIFxApp with WiX. I've found that I have to leave the DriverPlugAndPlayPrompt
set to "yes", or the install will fail on Vista if my USB device isn't plugged
in when the install runs. However, almost as bad, I've found that on Vista,
with this prompt enabled, the prompt shows up entirely hidden behind the
Windows Installer UI, which leaves the user with only the Cancel button enabled
and a hidden prompt. This is definitely going to mess up a lot of our customers.
I realize that this question is on the fine line between DIFx and WiX, but I'm
hoping that there is a workaround in WiX, or perhaps someone with experience
with using DIFx in WiX that can help with this issue: How do I make the
DriverPlugAndPlayPrompt either display in FRONT of my UI, or not at all on
Windows Vista?
That's usually caused by using the wrong parent window. There's nothing WiX can
do about it but it might be a bug in DifxApp they can fix by getting the right
parent window.
