Editing DIFxApp Options
When an installation contains a device driver that meets Microsoft Driver Install
Frameworks (DIFx) driver requirements, you can use Microsoft's Driver Install
Frameworks for Applications (DIFxApp) to install the driver.
See
Creating a Device Driver Installation
You edit the DIFxApp options on the Driver tab of the File Details dialog box. This tab
appears only if all of the following are true:
The DIFxApp merge module has been added to the installation.
Note
Early versions of this merge module might be named "Binaries."
You selected an .INF file on the Files page.
The .INF file is the key path of the component.
To edit DIFxApp options
1.
Double-click the device driver's .INF file on the Files page or on the Components or
Features tab in Setup Editor.
In the Visual Studio integrated editor, you also can use the Visual Studio Solution
page.
The File Details dialog box appears.
2.
Click the Driver tab.
3.
Complete the dialog box:
Use DIFxApp to install this driver file
When you mark this check box, the other options become enabled. They are all
marked by default.
Retain better-matching PnP function drivers
Mark this to retain the device's Plug and Play function driver if it is a better
match for the device than the driver in the installation. If you clear this check
box, the installation's plug and play function driver is always installed.
Prompt for missing device
Mark this to prompt the end user to connect a device to the computer if the
device matches this driver and is disconnected.
Create entry under Add/Remove Programs
Mark this to make this driver package removable through Add/Remove
Programs.
Driver Installation Order
This list box displays the .INF file you selected on the Files page and every other
.INF file in the installation that uses DIFxApp for its installation. Use the Move
Up and Move Down buttons to move the .INF file you selected on the Files page.
