infidelmike Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I done a lot of searching on MSFN and the internet for any documentation on how to create CAT files for unattended installs.The only thing I have discovered is that I need to use makecat.exe and mscat32.dll.Can someone point me in the right direction?Thanks.

Worf Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) Here you Go m8. You will find mscat32.dll in your System32 folder. Here is a link which explains how to use MakeCat.exehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa741204(VS.85).aspxMakeCat.Exe Edited September 11, 2008 by Worf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infidelmike Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks, but I guess I should explain more. I was able to get makecat.exe and mscat32.dll.What I am looking for is documentation on the details. What do I need to do to create the catalog files.I imagine from reading the files inside of a catalog that there is much to be learned to create the .inf and others files,to convert a .CAB or a KB executable to a .CAT. Unless I am completely misunderstanding the process and the makecat.exe does it all for you.I have a Unix/Linux background so I'm not afraid to read docs or create and edit text files. I'm just having trouble finding out where to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infidelmike Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 I believe I found the answer myself. I misunderstood the purpose of the .CAT file. I did more searching since my previous post and happened upon an explanation that answered my question.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
