Thank you for suggestions. I do not think the idea with "shell" inf would work: to register co-installer you need to have driver registry entry, like "Coinstaller32"=Mycoinst.dll under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\<MediaGUID>\<Enum> The idea with "run" key looks more promising but the package with such inf cannot pass WQL ( MS has a rule against using "run", or "runOnce" keys in inf). Let me know if I am wrong...
