Re: [WiX-users] Installing to SystemFolder\Drivers
Thanks for the reply it helped me alot :) Yes I know I should not copy the driver directly to the drivers folder. However I have been issued a driver which the program must load (and unload) on demand, not the nicest solution but I have not been given much choice :(. Also I got a direct mail which also helped me. I was told that I had put the code in the wrong place in the Xml (I had put it inside TARGETDIR declaration). The code should go directly into the Product/Product node... Stefan Pavlik-2 wrote: Hi,... I was using following code to install the driver into system32\drivers folder adn it was working OK.

[WiX-users] Installing to SystemFolder\Drivers
I am trying to install a file into the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers folder, but cannot figure out how to do it. I have no problem getting the file installed into the SystemFolder (System32) but moving on to Drivers subfolder is giving me trouble :( The code I have tried is the following: Directory Id='SystemFolder' Directory Id='Dr' Name='Drivers' Component Id='MD' Guid='1C35B99F-B693-4c1a-A7B5-465D2AEEDC0D' File Id=Porttalk Name=myDriver.sys Vital=yes/ /Component /Directory /Directory This results in the destination folder becoming C:\Windows\System32, however the Drivers part is added to the source dir... I am sure there is something fundamental I am doing wrong, but what? I cannot use the INSTALLLOCATION folder for the Drivers folder, since I am using it for installing other files. And yes, I am very new to WiX. I like it very much, really great tool, if only I could figure out all the neat features it has :). Oh and just so you do not tell me to use descriptive IDs rather than those two letter ones, I am doing that already I just didn't feel like typing them in the example. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Installing-to-SystemFolder%5CDrivers-tf4391170.html#a12519647 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
