Device drivers with DIFXApp (windows ce)
Can anybody explain/help me with difxapp....
i downloaded from wise the device driver template. I did the following (from the wise site):
1. Download the Device Driver template from here and store it in the Templates directory of your Wise product. (By default, this directory is "C:\Program Files\Wise for Windows Installer\Templates" for Wise for Windows Installer and "C:\Wise Share Point\Templates" for Wise Package Studio.)
2. Create a new project by selecting the Device Driver template from the Custom Templates section of the New Installation File dialog.
3. In Setup Editor, select the Components tab. Right-click on the INF component displayed on the left side of the screen, and select New > File. Then, select the INF file that is associated with your device driver.
4. After adding the INF file, right-click on the "INF" component displayed on the left side of the screen, and select Details. The Components Details dialog will appear. Change the Directory field to match the target location of this INF file, and change the File Key Path field to be the INF file that you just added to the installation.
When i run the msi gives me te following errors:

Hi sejacru,
Your inf and cat file are not being found together.
Deliver these files to a folder within the application folder....ie C:\Program Files\YourApp\INF and make sure you include ALL of the files that the inf needs to copy to the complete the install. you should have a .cat file and most likely some .dll's as well.

Hello msimaker,
you are correct. The cat file was missing in the directory??? I dont know how this happend but the msi is working. But now tells the msi that my device is not plugged in. this is correct but is it possible the skip this message so when i assign it to the computers the msi isn´t hanging on this message.
greetings sejacru

Add the following entry into the MSIDriverPackages table to suppress the message.
Component: INF
Flag: 2
Sequence: 0

sejacru,
u need not to enter anything in component table.
instead u have to put one entry in MSIDriverPackages table...
there are three feilds in that table and the values u need to put in those tables is as
Component: <<Name of your component which has the INF file>>
Flag: 2
Sequence: 0
