If I remember correctly, the justification for adding dedicated driver entries to ARP is so that if the driver causes the computer to fail to boot into normal mode, you can still uninstall the driver in safe mode. You can't use Windows Installer in safe mode, so the only mechanism would be the dedicated ARP entry.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] DIFxAPP and Properties question Personally I tend to set AddRemovePrograms="no" to prevent drivers from showing up in ARP. Mean otherwise the user could uninstall the drivers while leaving back the application which IMHO makes no sense. Back to your question AFAIK configuring the ARP entries is done inside the DifX driver.
