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:

MICROSOFT CONFIDENTIAL NOT APPROVED FOR EXTERNAL RELEASE

:weird:
