Software to create inf files

Back in NT4 we had sysdiff, that would create a registry snapshot and save it as an .inf file. This was very handy. However sysdiff won't work in windows XP or higher. As far as I know there is no other Microsoft tool to create inf files. There might be 3rd party apps

Some reg to inf conversion software in this list:

This utility is for generating a BartPE compatible inf file. It is not compatible with Microsoft's format.

@utln

You are right. There is more than "one reg to inf for PE" types in the list, and I think they work for WinPE as well. Complete list here:

@enuffsaid

I should have said that I haven't tried this stuff, just noting its existence. Once I iron out a winxp cd with all changes I will see about converting my reg files to inf. Gosh has said this makes for a more integrated solution, rather than bolt-on stuff (at least that's what I remember... not sure about details).

utln is right. The inf for a BartPE (praised be his name) plugin is totally different than is needed for a reg on an unattended. Compare:

Tweak=Disable Error Reporting, but notify when errors occur;

For reg;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting]
"DoReport"=dword:00000000

For a BartPE Plugin;

[Software.AddReg]
0x4, "Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting", "DoReport", 0x00000000

Nice try though . . .<SparTacuS>
