how to make wdf’s driver to installation package? thank you

Well, the big tickets items are that you need your driver(s), and inf and
the kmdf/umdf coinstallers. After that, it all depends on what you want to
do, but signing will perhaps be involved.

Unfortunately, you’re going to need to read the setup docs in the WDK.

Good luck,

mm

The easiest way to to use whatever installer programs you are familiar with
(nsis, wix, advanced installer etc) and use dpinst (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff544842(VS.85).aspx) to do the
heavy lifting for you.

Just copy all the components into one place (sys, inf, cat, dpinst.exe etc)
and get your installer to call dpinst with the silent flag and wait for the
exit code.

Yes – this is exactly what I do. A simple NSIS script copies to a
location in Program Files, and from there I launch dpinst. It works
surprisingly well.

For WDF, you will also need an .inf to trigger the coinstaller action.

You need to help yourself here. You have to do more reading about INF
files and device installation, and then pause for a little
self-reflection to understand how INF files work. You should not have
had to ask this question.
