I just downloaded and applied the new version 3.8.1 I noticed that the Windows Driver Install Frameworks (DIFx) has been implemented. NICE! I tried to use it on my unsigned driver, but it doesn't work. I know DIFx does not support unsigned drivers, but I figured I try the new feature since there is an option "Install unsigned driver packages and driver packages that have missing files." Could this be an issue? I am trying to install a virtual sound driver (we don't ship an actual hardware with the driver).
We currently manually install the driver via the Add new hardware applet in control panel. When using Advanced Installer, I noticed that our driver is copied into the Windows drivers folder (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers). However it does not work. The uninstall appears to work just fine.
Can you shed some light on what might be going on? Thanks.

Hi,
It is hard to tell what goes wrong. In order to tell might be the problem could you please send the AIP of the project, a LOG file generated during the install process, and the INF file of the driver to support at advancedinstaller dot com
You can obtain a LOG file by installing package from Advanced Installer using the [Run and Log] toolbar button. You can also use the following command line option:
msiexec /i package.msi /l*v logfile.log
However, it is not recommended using DIFx for MSI installers to install drivers for first installed hardware. You should use DipInst.
