Are u able to install the driver package properly for the USB device manually? ... View more

With using the term Driver Package I mean a single driver package that includes a needed files to install a pnp device or class filter driver (driver.inf, driver.cat, driver.sys, driver.ax,.....). So it looks like that your USB driver package will only be pre-installed (into the Driver Store of Windows) but the device itself will not be updated or installed by this driver package, right? Even if it has been plugged before? In this case it looks like that the vendor-defined hardware ID does not match any ID in the inf file. Will it be installed properly if it will be connected afterwards? I also recommend to test this behaviour on a clean system. ... View more

On the one that i only have the INF file i checked the checkbox that it should install unsigned drivers. windrvr6.inf file should copy/install the file windrvr6.sys in \System32\driver but doesn't. It does however copy the INF file and SYS DRIVERSTORE but doesn't install them. If i use wdreg.exe it copies the file to driverstore then installs them so i get the file windrvr6.sys in the DRIVERS folder. Mihai I assume that your wdreg.exe makes a little bit more to push the driver into system32 as well. DPInst.exe (of DIFx) will only push the Driver Package into the driver store, but will not install any driver into system32. Please note, that DIFx does only support installation of PnP Function Drivers or Class Filter Drivers. In your case your inf must match a Class Filter Driver Package. There´s a class driver sample available in the Windows DDK. The driver package for the USB device should work fine using DIFx. What´s the problem with this driver package? Do you have .log file information? ... View more

Another question. Do you have problems installing both Driver Packages? Or only a problem with the windrvr6.inf Driver Package? ... View more

What type of device should be installed? USB, PCI? Have you tried to install the driver package for the device using DPInst.exe (of the DIFx Tools)? Or is that the small app you mentioned? Can you post your .inf file? Or the Device List section? It looks like that your Driver Package has been verified (WHQL or DTM) by Microsoft, right? ... View more

Either new updates were ready to download or they were downloaded and installed while installing the project. (It would make a little bit sense that the installation slows down when Microsoft downloads and installs new updates in the background). ... View more

I assume you mean the release's Single Exe File Name, right? You could make use of the Automation Interface by using the 'SingleEXEFileName' member of the ISWiRelease Object. Just take a look at the InstallShield help library for more details. ... View more

InstallShield uses Microsoft´s Driver Install Frameworks Tools (DIFx) to install PnP Function Drivers or Class Filter Drivers. So you should first make sure that your driver package meets the Requirements of DIFx. You can download DIFx (including Documentation) here (most current version of the Driver Install Frameworks (DIFx) tools is available in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK)). You can simply use DPInst.exe of DIFx to test your driver package. Hope that helps a little bit. -Nick ... View more
