Dell Data Protection Access 2.2 install issue

Question

Is there a way to install only the drivers (not middleware or application) in the new Data Protection Access 2.2 installer?  We use third party software (not Wave) for OPAL drive encryption and smartcard access control and don't need anything from DDPA but the drivers.  It used to be simple with the older DDPA versions, since they were packaged separately. On a side note, the silent installer in v2.2 appears to always install drivers, middleware and application.  Is there a way to only install the Limited option (drivers and middleware) silently?

If you install it on one system (install everything), the drivers should get copied to the program files installation directory.  You can copy the drivers out from there and then inject them into your deployment process.

Unfortunately it appears that it's not just actual drivers with inf files, but MSI and other packages as well.

The driver cabs should have those drivers extracted into .inf format.
