Setup and Deplyment Project : Running external exe

[TechAvtar]

Hi, I am creating a setup & deployment project in Visual Studio 2008 (VC++). I need to install a driver while running installer.msi . I have the command line for installing the driver below devcon -r install driverx.inf *driverx.sys How to include the above exe in Setup and Deployment project? I tried custom action and specified parameters "-r install driverx.inf *driverx.sys". But during installation I am getting the error message "THere is a problem with this windows installer package. A program run as par of the project did not finish as exepected .." How to configure Setup and Deployment project for executing above exe?

I'm not familiar with "setup&deployment" project, but know something about it in "InstallShield". In "InstallShield", there is a place you can setup "support files". These files will be copy to temporary folder when your install program is running. Then you can use script language to execute the command line. If there is a same place in "setup&deployment" project, you can add "devcon.exe" to the "support files", then use script language to run it. Is the above useful for you?

Thank you very much. But I am still trying to find a way to install driver via Setup & Deployment Project. If nothing works out I will consider InstallShield.
