Driver Installation

Hello,

is there any tutorial to install drivers (inf/sys) with NSIS? The Plugin I found did not work with my driver.

Thanks,

Ocrana

don't know of any.

but if you find a general tutorial how to install drivers, we may help you code the right lines in nsis

Not NSIS related, but maybe you can find some interesting info on the WDK pages.

This article also may be of use to you.

Edit:
Looking a bit more into this, it seems that you can get the tools needed for a driver installation from this page. The MSI contains, among other things, DIFxAPI. API libraries are included along with definitions etc, so I guess you could write some code that calls the functions from difxapi.dll using the system plugin ... The documentation is pretty good and several examples are included.

Edit2:
I am a bit puzzled though: The document I am reading (downloaded from the previous link I posted) begins with this header:
