Installation

[usfinecats]

Currently I'm using visual studio 2005 installation app to build an installer
for our program running on the XP platform .

We are starting up with Vista. What mod's will be required to support Vista
-- where is the documentation we will need?

The installer currently uses DifX for a driver, a couple of merge modules
for some libraries.

The Driver we have is a File system filter driver. What changes will we
need for the INF file to make this work in VISTA ?

Thanks

Hi Gak,

Based on my understanding, your application uses VS2005 setup project to
make a setup package. This installation package will use DifX tool to
install the various drivers to end user system, such as File system filter
driver etc.. You want to know the changes introduced in Vista platform. If
I have misunderstood you, please feel free to tell me, thanks.

This newsgroup actually mainly focuses on various PlatformSDK tools usage
questions. Since your question mainly focuses on installation of drivers,
which is normally performed by DDK developers, there are not many DDK
experts in this newsgroup to help you.

To get better support, I recommend you post this question in
microsoft.public.development.device.drivers newsgroup. There will be more
DDK guy to help you. Also, this newsgroup is a managed MSDN newsgroup, so
the MSDN managed newsgroup DDK support engineer will monitor/answer your
question there.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
