gosh Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hive files are a pain and unless you use a seperate hive file you'll have to recreate the hive file everytime you apply a new service pack. If you're looking at hive files you might want to look at inf files instead, since they're much simplier and easier to test.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denney Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Hey gosh, you could probably help me... I need a program that will check the syntax of my INF files (registry edits and so forth). Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltaic Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 i seem to be having an issue with variables in my inf files when loaing them with the rest of the hives. setup does not seem to want to replace things like %01% with the directory that it should (it just leaves it as %01%) this is something that i have tested to work in windows, but when these inf files are loaded as hive files from the txtsetup.sif they dont.anyway, i noticed that even the rollup.inf that GOSH created for slipsreaming the security rollup that is loaded from the txtsetup.sif has references to numerical path name variables. given this fact, is there something i am doing that might case these variables not to be replaced?thanks for the help!-Voltaic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 My site talks about how to make hive files for text mode setup so i won't answer that question here.I wish i could help you check inf files but i just do it manually. Once i had a problem with an inf and couldn't figure out the problem with a copyfiles section. I enabled verbose output of setupapi.log and noticed that it was failing trying to copy a directory. I removed the directory and the inf worked fine.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilemke Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hey, easy way to make inf formated registry changes.. Use WillyPad to convert standard regedit exports (reg files) to inf. Been using it for a while but keep forgetting I have it. I have downloaded the thing about 5 times in the last 6 months after researching a way to make inf based reg files easier....Check it out, freeware, sorta...WillyPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galvanocentric Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Eek, I can't stand numlock being on at all. My thoughts exactly. Numlock shouldn't even by rights exist anymore. I've seen it on laptops, for Christ's sake. They don't even have a separate pad for entering numbers!Jesus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
