MSI install bus driver

Hi all,

I'm usind WIX and DifxApp to install drivers (MSI packages), until now the
drivers installations have been ok.

But Is it possible to manage Bus Drivers installation by MSI ?
I've no error on generating the package (installation's files are ok)
the problem is when i install the bus,i've no error too but the installation
seems to be the same as a "simple" driver, the system waits for a "plug
device" to finish the installation!
=> Only a pre-installation is done!

Is there anything special for a Bus driver package to do?
Or it's simply not possible?!

Thanks
Rach.

The pnp installation subsystem doesn't know whether the driver you are
installing is just a function driver or it also enumerates other devices
(which turns a function driver into bus driver). Just because you install ed
the bus driver doesn't mean all the child devices will be installed
automatically. So what does your bus driver do? Is it a root-enumerated
driver?

My Bus driver is a "Smart Card Reader Bus Enumerator";
I install it, and just after I install a smart card reader Driver (usb token)
This Bus driver allows my device to be recognised as a smart card reader.

When i install all manually it properly works, but with MSI my Bus driver
doesn't start (pre-installed) and so my usb token ins't loaded...

Thanks
