Win98 registry key with variables?

Fonceur, in case you're still considering the inf approach, I've edited the list of the DIRID values I posted previously to add several values between 50 and 100 that I missed (my tests were done on a Win98SE system with no printer installed) along with some others that are listed in http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/infs.htm and the MSDN article "Using Dirids" (and I corrected the reference for dirid 1 - I'd erroneously listed it as Desktop but it actually refers to the directory from which the INF file was installed). I double-checked the dirids that weren't listed in the docs above and they're still good on my system - it'd be great if someone else could check those values, esp. on non-Win98SE systems.

The linked file above is well worth a read, and while it seems predominantly XP orientated there's *MUCH* more regarding inf files to be found on the 'Unattended Windows Discussion & Support' board on this site http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showforum=70.

Thanks for the links and infos!

For now I've paused a bit the work on that W98 CD as I managed to get something close enough to what I wanted with batch files and I used it on 2 persons' PC successfully. I have to admit that my enthusiasm droped after my installation went from 20 to 30 minutes moving some stuff (like .NET framework installation) from batch files to runonce... ;)
