Query regarding App V Deployment - (Deploying DriverMSI in App - V)

Question

Hi All,
This is my query regarding deployment of a driver MSI using App V. I have tried sequencing "NMap software" which has Kernel driver as service. I have separated the Kernel driver and wrapped in an MSI and tried deploying the Kernel Driver MSI using
the DeploymentConfig.xml file but its not happening.
I have tried writing script in DeploymentConfig.xml in AddPackage Tag as shown in the below commands where I have added driver MSI in sequenced package, and tried deploying the DeploymentConfig.xml in powershell during Add-Package event but the driver
MSI is not getting installed in Client machine.
<AddPackage>
        <Path>msiexec.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>/i Nmap_KernelDriver.msi /qb /l*v c:\windows\system32\LogFiles\Install_Nmap.log</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
      </AddPackage>
      <RemovePackage>
        <Path>msiexec.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>/x {4BAB3E93-716E-4E18-90F0-1DA3876CBEB6} /qn</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="false" Timeout="60"/>
      </RemovePackage>
    </MachineScripts>
The other way I have tried is writing a vbscript for installing the driver MSI, added the vbs in sequenced package and called the same in DeploymentConfig.xml but no luck.Please find the command below.
<!--
    <MachineScripts>
      <PublishPackage>
        <Path>wscript.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\NMap_Driver_Install.vbs -guid 7c21d1e9-0fc4-4e56-b7bf-49e54d6e523f -name Insecure_Nmap_6.4_APPV</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
      </PublishPackage>
      <UnpublishPackage>
        <Path>\\server\share\barfoo.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>-WithArgs</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="false" Timeout="30"/>
      </UnpublishPackage>
Please suggest any method to make this successful or kindly let me know if there is any mistake in the script.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Nicke,
These are the following methods and steps that I have performed for installing Driver MSi.
Method 1:
1. Included the driver MSI in Package Files Tab in sequencer and called the same MSI in DeploymentConfig.xml using the below script.
<AddPackage>
        <Path>msiexec.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>/i Nmap_KernelDriver.msi /qb /l*v c:\windows\system32\LogFiles\Install_Nmap.log</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
      </AddPackage>
      <RemovePackage>
        <Path>msiexec.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>/x {4BAB3E93-716E-4E18-90F0-1DA3876CBEB6} /qn</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="false" Timeout="60"/>
      </RemovePackage>
    </MachineScripts>
2. After the above steps, deployed the AppV package along with DeploymentConfig.xml in App V Client using the commands mentioned below.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Unrestricted
Import-module Appvclient
Set-AppVClientConfiguration -EnablePackageScripts 1
Add-AppvClientPackage -Path "Path of the AppV file" -DynamicDeploymentConfig "Path of DeploymentConfig.xml"
after trying the above steps the driver MSI is not getting installed.
Method 2:
1. Included the driver MSI and a VBS file(VBS contains script for calling the driverMSI)in Package Files tab in sequencer. Commandlines has been provided calling the vbs file in DeploymetConfig.xml as mentioned below.
<!--
    <MachineScripts>
      <PublishPackage>
        <Path>wscript.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>[{AppVPackageRoot}]\..\Scripts\NMap_Driver_Install.vbs -guid 7c21d1e9-0fc4-4e56-b7bf-49e54d6e523f -name Insecure_Nmap_6.4_APPV</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
      </PublishPackage>
      <UnpublishPackage>
        <Path>\\server\share\barfoo.exe</Path>
        <Arguments>-WithArgs</Arguments>
        <Wait RollbackOnError="false" Timeout="30"/>
      </UnpublishPackage>
2. after executing the above steps, tried deploying the AppV file along with DeploymentConfig.xml using the commands mentioned below,
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Unrestricted
Import-module Appvclient
Set-AppVClientConfiguration -EnablePackageScripts 1
Add-AppvClientPackage -Path "Path of the AppV file" -DynamicDeploymentConfig "Path of DeploymentConfig.xml"
evenafter trying the above methods the driver MSI is not getting installed. Hope you can understand my explanations above.
