hi,

i´ve got some video/audio codecs, i want to install during the unattended setup, like appz..

but some of the codecs just have an *.inf file

normaly i rightclick on them and choose "install" (easy, heh? =) )

how do i add those install routines to a batch file?

thx a lot

nevermind.. found a solution:

%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %systemdrive%\install\Codecs\divx\divx50.inf

works great

does that work for only that one inf file or for any of them. I'll let you all know if it works with the nvidia sound controle panle. I have all the nvidia motherboard drivers installing correctly but not hte controle panle for some reason.

should work for all kind of *.inf installation files

I dont think every kind of .inf file has an install option on it when you right click it. Most inf files are just basic files that programs use to save and load values.

should work for all kind of *.inf installation  files

btw.. im on win2k.. so the command may differ on XP

take a look at explorer->tools->folder options->file types->mark "INF Setup Information"->click advanced->mark install->click "edit"-> there is your command

(that´s a manual to find it on WIN2K!, may differ on XP)
