I wasn't particularly satisfied with this answer so I went on a trip through the .wixlib and .wixobj formats, and reverse-engineered the .wxs file used to generate DIFxApp.wixlib. Hopefully find it attached. I then ran this through wixcop to get a v3 .wxs file. I used NetFxExtension.wxs and netfx.wixlib as a guide to how this should work.
I haven't built a driver package to verify this - merely run it through candle and lit and checked that the resulting .wixlib bears a close resemblance to the original.
Interesting points: the use of IgnoreModularization to prevent a uniqueifier from being prefixed to the custom action names, and therefore ensure that only a single version of the custom action is scheduled - I can imagine disaster ensuing if it happens multiple times. Since this is all in a single <Fragment> all the CustomActions should be included in the resulting MSI, even though MsiInstallDrivers, MsiUninstallDrivers and MsiRollbackInstall aren't referenced in the execution sequence. The documentation for DIFxApp explains why two custom action DLLs are required (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">).

The supported version of DIFxApp seems to be the WiX 2.0 version in the WDK. To use WiX 3.0 you'll need to wait until the team gets their .wixlib back in the build.
I've opened a bug at SourceForge.

Linking in the DifXApp.wixlib got me beyond that point. The caps on the MSI was just me. I can build it with no warnings or errors with version 3.0.1319.0. If I change the sources to use the newer version with the Driver element schema I get the following issues.
Version 3.0.1821.0 : I get error LGHT0204 : ICE03: Value not a member of the set; Table:MsiDriverPackages, Column: Flags, Key(s): <ComponentId of the driver component> I’m using the same values I used with the v3.0.1319 file just moved them to the Driver element and renamed the attributes to match the schema for the Driver element. Any suggestions?
Version 3.0.2015.0 ( after running wixcop to update the xmlns ) : error LGHT0141 : The library file format version 2.0.2207.0 is not compatible with the expected library file format version 3.0.2002.0. I can’t find a different DifXApp.wix.lib file to use. Any suggestions where to get it?
Thanks Dennis From: Mike Dimmick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think you need to include difxapp.wixlib in the command line to light.exe. I believe difxapp.wixlib is in the WDK.
If this doesn't work (the DIFxApp documentation on MSDN seems to refer to WiX 2.0) then my next question is around case-sensitivity: the documentation refers to MsiProcessDrivers, not MSIProcessDrivers. Unless, of course, the documentation is wrong. This could just be your transcription error, though: the source code definitely gives MsiProcessDrivers.
In WiX 3.0, the extension can supply the .wixlib internally from a resource (by overriding the GetLibrary method) but it appears that WixDifxAppExtension doesn't do this yet.

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Dennis Roy I sent this to wix-devs and then realized is should probably go to wix-users.
I get an error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol ‘CustomAction:MSIProcessDrivers’ in section ‘Fragment:’. When trying run light on my project. The command line I’m running is light –ext WixDifxAppExtension –out install.msi *.wixobj . I’m using version 3.0.2015. Any suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks Dennis
