Deploying device drivers using VS2003

Hi guys,

I need to form an MSI based installer that can trigger the installation of a
device driver required for some hardware accompanying the installer.

Could someone point me in the right direction please?

btw VS 2003 pro, C#

Cheers

Steve,

Are you creating an install package project? If your device driver has
an MSI package, you should be able to add that easily to the project.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Nicholas,

I only have the .inf and .sys files.
