DIFXAPP: ERROR: more than one driver package found in '<Destination Folder>'

DIFXAPP: ERROR: more than one driver package found in '<Destination Folder>'

Summary

How to resolve a DIFXAPP error that occurs when installing multiple device drivers

Symptoms

When using the Device Driver Wizard to install more than one device drivers to the same location, the following error occurs:
DIFXAPP: ERROR: more than one driver package found in '<Destination Folder>'
DIFXAPP: ERROR: InstallDriverPackages failed with error 0xD
DIFXAPP: RETURN: InstallDriverPackages() 13 (0xD)
CustomAction MsiInstallDrivers returned actual error code 1603

Cause

The Device Driver Wizard simplifies the process of installing device drivers from a Windows Installer?based installation using the Driver Installation Frameworks for Applications (DIFxApp) from Microsoft. The wizard creates the necessary table and entries, custom actions, feature, and components. The DifXApp requires that each driver package is installed to its own folder. The error is a result of installing multiple drivers to the same location.

Resolution

You will need to avoid installing more than one device driver to the same location. You can do this by setting the 'Destination' field for each component with a device driver to their own unique location.
