hello everybody

i have just got a question about the windows/inf folder

i have a dial-up modem with a modem.exe file, when i click on it it installs the .inf files to windows/inf...(well thats what it says it's doing.).

i've tryed exstracting the .inf files with winrar and then placing them into my drivers\000_modem file on the cd...(and all the other stuff i'm supposed to do)

that didn't work

iv'e tryed experimenting with switches and running from [GuiRunOnce]

that didn't work

so i thought what if i compare my windows/inf folder and make a note of the .inf files before and then after i install my modem.exe , copy the added .inf files to $OEM$\$$\inf

does anyone know if this would work, or would the install program do more than just add those .inf files.

ok bye

ohh...the switches didn't work because when it tryed to install , i had to click on the ok button ( so it wouldn't be a unattended install )

I think you've got the wrong .inf file!

well...if anyone is interested...it WORKED

i ran the modem.exe

searched the windows\inf folder for the extra .inf files

copied them to $oem$/$$/inf

burned the disc

intalled windows again

turned on my modem and it was recognised.

thank htc for a reply.

This proofed my statement before, at the first time you've got the wrong .inf file. This (wrong) .inf file copy the (right) .inf file and the driver files into the proper folder.

hello htc

i used winrar to extract the .inf files from modem.exe,

i noted that there were only 1,2 maybe 3 .inf files (and a couple of other files, i can't remember what type they were )

i'm happy i got it to work this way

it would be interesting to see what i did wrong tho

I knew.
