Thanks for listing the steps, I agree with you about the web site, it's
awful.

Ryan,
Thanks for your help. After searching forever, I finally found the DDK on
Microsoft Connect (horribly designed website, in my opinion). For future
reference, if someone needs the Windows DDK:
1. Go to Microsoft Connect, click on Home
2. Under Join A Connection, click See All Connections
3. Find "Windows Driver Kit (WDK), Windows Logo Kit (WLK) and Windows
Driver Framework (WDF)" in the list, and click Apply Now
4. You should now have a connection to download the DDK

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Device Driver Installation
Well, I've downloaded WiX 2 and I'm going to create a merge module for my
device drivers that I will merge into my WiX 3 installer. My big issue now
is, where can I find the Windows DDK so I can use DIFxApp with WiX? I know
this probably isn't the place to ask, but I'm guessing someone here has used
it and knows where it can be found. The Microsoft site is pointing me to
Microsoft Connect and MSDN, neither of which are turning up anything for me.
Does the DDK need to be purchased? If so, is there any way to obtain the
DIFxApp/WiX stuff for free (as that's all I need)? I should mention, we're
only supporting WinXP SP2 or greater, if that makes a difference in terms of
which DDK I need.
Thanks for the help so far, it's really appreciated.
Tony

Anthony,
As far as I know DIFxApp still only works with WiX 2. My workaround was to
create a merge module using WiX 2 just for the driver installation and merge
that into my WiX 3 installer.
Regards,
John

Subject: [WiX-users] Device Driver Installation
Hey guys, this is my first post. I've got this relatively simple project
(WiX v3, using Votive w/ VS2005) that I now need to add device driver
installation to. I need to install two drivers if a specific feature is
selected to be installed.
>From everything I'm reading, I need to use DIFxApp. Unfortunately, this is
where all helpful information I've found on the web stops. I read in
previous questions that DIFxApp won't work with WiX 3. Is this still the
case? If so, how would one recommend going about installing drivers in WiX
3? If the issue has been resolved and DIFxApp now works with WiX 3, does
anyone have a tutorial on what needs to be done to install the drivers?
I know I should be looking into the DDK for some help, but I couldn't even
find that (anyone have a link?). Any help someone can give me would be
greatly appreciated, as I'm rather new to all this.
Thanks!
