ponghy Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 @mrnxdmx: I think you'll find no "official response". Most Windows setup files are not documented at all. Remember this is propietary software, so Microsoft reserves the rights of not documenting certain parts of the operating system. Only researchers and hackers (such as the the missing gosh of this forum) can explain them. And not completely, only partially. I think the exact purpose of this section still is unknown.However, in my own tests I've found out that this section is necessary when you add files of your own (like drivers), because if you don't make this, Windows Setup can show you an error box indicating the file was not found and Setup is unable to continue... Add the undocumented flag "16" to each added file. This is specially true when upgrading from another version of Windows.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
