Installing drivers

I am demoing the Advanced Installer
I saw a reply that installing drivers is difficult but did not see how to do it. This is important to me since my applications need to install a printer driver. Can you explain the process?

Thanks

Hi,

There is not a standard solution for installing a driver because the installing process defers from one driver to another or from one OS to another.

The basic idea is that you must create an application that registers this driver.

After you deploy the files of the driver on the target machine, you must schedule a custom action that runs that application.

If you want your driver to be launched every time the computer is started, you have to install it in system32\drivers windows folder.

All the best,
Ciprian
