Drivers Page

TipThis 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

Add DriverSelect a driver's INF file and add it to the list of drivers by using the [ Add Driver ] toolbar button, selecting the “Add” context menu option or by pressing the Ins key while the left pane is focused.

Removing a driver

Delete DriverRemove an INF file from the list by using the [ Delete Driver ] 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.

Caution!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.
