Following the industry movement renaming master->main branches caused auto-deletion of my last PR (#4). Reopening from my main in case this repository gets some maintenance attention again at some point. (See linked PR for details.)

DavidRieman and others added 9 commits December 3, 2017 15:47
* Made an Uninstall which works similar to Install, with the improved
  error handling. Also makes way for silent uninstall mode, if wanted.
* Updated Install/Uninstall to use a temporary directory to extract
  the driver from embedded resources. This allows for the installer
  itself to be easy to embed/use automatically in apps needing ScpBus.
* Resolved conflict: ScpDriverInstaller/DriverInstaller.cs
* Allowed VS to fix spaces to fix mixing.
…ackage.

* Simplifies and abstracts "Use DIFx to install a driver" scenarios for reuse,
  via a simple 'using' syntax for DIFx.
* Eliminates the need to directly manage multiple dependencies for bitness; the
  correct version of DIFxAPI is extracted and used at run-time.
Also, other ScpDriverInterface cleanup and improvements:
* Removed unused references.
* Reduced minimum framework version needed to use ScpDriverInterface.
* Fixed a casting warning.
* Some improved error handling.
* Completes stand-alone single-file installer ScpDriverInstaller.exe!
* Fixes an issue where Win32Exception err code casting issues caused us to fail to identify already-uninstalled case.
…n, took latest EmbeddedDIFx minor update, and took Fody version updates. Lightly tested (mainly with ScpTester) but everything seems to still be in order.

I appreciate the work that you've put into this, but I'm going to close this as the installer was only really included for convenience, as an example of how to install the drivers. It isn't the main purpose of this repo, and was never intended to be fully-featured, or be used in production apps. You are welcome to continue maintaining your own version of it in a fork or separate repo.

Also sorry for the extremely late comment on this, I know your original PR was from like 7 years ago.
