Hi All

My installer package contains a device driver and I use DIFX to deploy it. I am seeing thew below when I try to deploy my application on a Windows 2008 Core RC2 machine. Any ideas on this?

Action start 7:53:47: MsiProcessDrivers.
DIFXAPP: ENTER: ProcessDriverPackages()
DIFXAPP: ERROR - The operating system you are running on is not supported. Only Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows codenamed Longhorn are supported.
CustomAction MsiProcessDrivers returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
MSI (s) (940) [07:53:47:463]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0

I don't know much about Windows 2008 Core RC2 but I guess it's based on the server version of Windows 7 (aka Windows Server 2008 R2). In this case oyu may need a newer version of DIFx. Have you checked if there's a version that supports Windows 7 / 2008 R2 ?
You could also test with the evaluation version of InstallShield 2010 which includes beta support for Windows 7.
