Hi, I'm a complete newbie to Wix and have been trying to use the SQL Database functionality of the suite. First of all I've been trying to get the SQL sample in the Wix tutorial to work (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson7.php) but I'm not even having any luck doing that. I'm able to cre

DIFxApp will install hardware drivers if you provide it with the .INF file(s) and the referenced files from the package. Whether a file system driver fits that bill is over my head, although it sounds a bit different. DIFxApp does the equivilant of SetupCopyOemInf and then some. It's job is to get

Re: [WiX-users] Per-user install

To answer one of my own questions... Apparently you can use the same reg value as the keypath for all your components without any harm. It seems a little weird to create a new reg value for each component although it also seems to be more in the style of WIX (lots of little components). JVE
