DestinationDirs
The DestinationDirs
section defines the destination directories for the operations specified in
file-list sections (Copy Files, Rename Files, or Delete Files). As an option, you can
specify a default destination directory for any Copy Files, Rename
Files, or Delete Files sections in the INF file that are not
explicitly named in the DestinationDirs section.
[DestinationDirs]
file-list-section=drid[,subdir]
.

[DefaultDestDir=drid[,subdir]]
file-list-section
Name of a Copy
Files, Rename
Files, or Delete
Files section.
Typically, you will refer to this section in the CopyFiles, RenFiles,
or DelFiles line of an Install section.
drid
A directory
identifier (DRID). The installer replaces a DIRID with an actual name during
installation.
A DIRID has the form %dirid% where dirid is one of the
predefined identifiers or an identifier defined in the DestinationDirs
section. When using a DIRID, you should use the backslash in a path. For
example, %11%\card.ini can be used to reference card.ini in the system32
directory.
A DIRID can be one of the following values:
|
-01, |
The
directory from which the INF was installed. |
|
01 |
SourceDrive:\path. |
|
10 |
Windows

|

subdir
Name of the
directory, within the directory named by drid, to be the destination
directory.
The
optional DefaultDestDir item provides a default destination for any CopyFiles
items that use the direct copy (@filename) notation or any Copy Files, Rename
Files, or Delete Files sections not specified in the DestinationDirs
section. If a DefaultDestDir is not used in a DestinationDirs
section, the default directory is set to drid_system.
This example
sets the default directory for all the sections of the INF file to the drivers
directory:
[DestinationDirs]
DefaultDestDir = 12 ; DIRID_DRIVERS
