Ran into the same problem and couldn't figure it out either. In our case I was modifying the inf file with our branding anyways so at same time I just created two inf files: one for 32bit and one for 64bit and a separate MSI for each one. I then have burn detect the OS "bitness" and run the appropriate MSI.

Subject: [WiX-users] DIFxApp driver files in multiple directories I'm attempting to use the WixDifxAppExtension to install a driver. In the only DIFxApp examples I have seen (of which there are very few), all of the files associated with the driver are located in the same directory, and all of those files are nested directly beneath the Component that contains the difx:Driver element. In my application, however, I must deploy a driver that does not have a flat directory structure. In general, I cannot change the directory structure used by the driver because the driver is already signed, which means that any changes that I make to the INF file to accommodate a new directory layout would invalidate the signature. Thus, I arrive at a couple of questions: 1.) With the DifxAppExtension, what is the appropriate way to add a driver that has files in multiple directories (and therefore presumably needs multiple Components)? 2.) Are there any particularly good resources out there of using the WixDifxAppExtension with WiX 3.x in general? It took me quite a while to piece together the information I needed to write the .wxs file, as well to construct the appropriate arguments to candle and light. Also, just in case anyone is curious why the driver has its own directory structure, it is because there is a single INF/CAT that handles both x86 and x64 variants of the driver, as such (don't worry, I know that I have to generate two separate MSIs with separate versions of difxapp*.wixlib for the different architectures): \driver.inf \driver.cat \i386\driver.sys \amd64\driver.sys ___________ Frank Jenner ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
