Re: How to create driver installation package using Microsoft installer



You could also take a look at DIFxApp, which is a MSI merge module that you
can integrate with you MSI package and it will do the driver installation
for it. DIFxApp ships in the WDK.

I heard that, using Visual studio & microsoft installet, driver
installation package can be created, if anyone knows about the
approach, could you please guide me.
I am having the .sys, inf, .dll & .exe files as a package, i know
about using Application wizard these files can be placed whereever we
wish, but how to install the driver from here?

The DPInst tool, included with the DDK, can install a driver package from
its INF. It can be called from a standard Windows installer package. You
can find helpful information by searching for "wix dpinst".
