InstallShield includes support for the latest version of Driver Install
Frameworks for Applications (DIFx). This new version, which includes the
latest binary files from Microsoft, is available for any Basic MSI,
InstallScript, or InstallScript MSI projects that you create in
InstallShield.
Support for DIFx 2.1 enables you to:
- Fully test drivers more easily before shipping final (signed) versions.
- Remove binary files associated with a driver during uninstallations.
- Target any 64-bit machines.
- Hide the Plug and Play Connect Device to Computer dialog.
- Remove the Add/Remove Programs entry for a device.
- Remove the Reinstall the Device Drive Package if it is Already Installed dialog.
- Add the 64-bit Itanium device drive check box
- Add Use Multilingual Runtime dialogs
The Device Driver advanced setting's Common tab within the Components view enables you to specify whether the current component includes a device driver and, if so, select desired runtime installation options. The Sequence tab enables you to specify the order in which the project's device drivers (not just the current component's device drivers) should be installed.
