Hi,
I’m looking for a third pary installation authoring software which can take
a NDIS miniport inf file (and the driver file) and create an one click setup
file (.msi or .exe)
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Guy

Well it isn’t third party but have you considered the following?

The Driver Install Frameworks Tools Version 1.0 is now available at :
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/difxtools.mspx .
Windows Driver Install Frameworks for Applications (DIFxApp) is a component
of the Microsoft Windows Driver Install Frameworks (DIFx). With DIFxApp you
can use Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) to install signed driver packages
that are associated with applications in an MSI installation package.
DifXApp gives developers intelligent driver update support, like DPInst,
while allowing developers to tie their applications and drivers together.
The Driver Install Frameworks tools package includes:
* Driver Install Frameworks for Applications (DIFxApp): A Windows
Installer (MSI) custom action dynamic-link library (DLL) that you can use
to install driver packages that are represented as MSI components in an MSI
installation package.
* Driver Package Installer (DPInst): An executable file that simplifies
the software-first installation of driver packages.

Thanks, but I’m looking for something automatic…
I’m not in the mood for learning another set of API…

I’ve checked InstallShield X Premier Evaluation.
Although I could find reference for such functionality in the help, I didn’t
manage to activate it (the option was disabled in the menu).
