ToBe Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hi!I am trying to change from reg files to inf files for my unattended dvd, but I'm having some troubles with my registry tweaks.When I use the "big" inf-file, the settings doesn't apply, but if I shrink them down to small pieces, the tweaks are working.Is there a size limit on how much you can add to an inf-file?CheersToBe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I think I saw somewhere that there is a 64KB limit.Do a search on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToBe Posted April 20, 2004 Author Share Posted April 20, 2004 Thank you for answering, tim.Searched the forum without luck, but I found this deep inside Microsoft's site:INF Size Limits A Windows 9x/Me INF file cannot be larger than 64 kilobytes. There is no practical limit to the size of an INF file for NT-based systems.Anyway it's working now, after correcting some typos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 My apologies for the incorrect info. Ya live and learn what incorrect info you was correct under win9x there is a 64kb limit as another member (ToBe) found it on a deep microsoft site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I'm sure it is 64kb, but I'm sure mine worked as well.And the deep microsoft site in question, I believe is in the TechNet site under Driver DDK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosh Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 The 64k limit is from windows 3.1, which is why the registry was made. I think that msdn article is wrong, an .inf is much different than an .ini which has the 64k limit in win9x.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
