Hint: If you need to make calls to DLLs, use the Call DLL Function command.
If you can describe requirements that are common to most driver installations, we can work with you and address them in a template driver installation (a new project type), or a new driver installation plug-in.
Contact me privately for details.

We currently install our device drivers using the standard INF method. Through InstallAware, we simply call rundll32 using the standard parameters.
To install try:
Code: Select all
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 .\\yourdriver.infTo uninstall try:
Code: Select all
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultUninstall 132 .\\yourdriver.infThe only issue we have seen is that it kinda fubars the progress bar in Installaware. (The percentages don't add up if you call it near the end as it resets).
