Drivers Page
This feature is available only in an Enterprise Project.
On this page you can set up the installation of drivers. To install a driver:
- Add the driver's files to the project in the Files and Folders page.
- Add the INF file.
Adding a driver
Select a driver's INF file and
add it to the list of drivers by using the
toolbar button, selecting the “Add” context menu
option or by pressing the Ins key while the left
pane is focused.
Removing a driver
Remove an INF file from the
list by using the toolbar button,
selecting the “Delete” context menu option or by
pressing the Del key while an entry is
selected.
Changing installation order
To change the order in which the drivers are installed use the “Move Up” or “Move Down” context menu options or, alternatively, use the Page Up or Page Down key while the element is selected.
Notes
Advanced Installer uses Windows Driver Install Frameworks (DIFx), version 2.1, to install the drivers. The necessary libraries for DIFx come with the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit. If they aren't installed on your machine Advanced Installer will try to download them when you build the first package that installs drivers.
This framework is designed for installing Software First
Install drivers only.
These drivers usually come with your application, e.g. an anti-virus filter for the network adapter. It is not recommended to use it for installing Hardware First Install type drivers, e.g. a driver for your sound card.
