Install
The
Install section identifies the sections in the INF file that contain
instructions for installing files.
[install-section-name]
LogConfig=log-config-section-name[,log-config-section-name]...
Copyfiles=file-list-section[,file-list-section]...
Renfiles=file-list-section[,file-list-section]...
Delfiles=file-list-section[,file-list-section]...
UpdateInis=update-ini-section[,update-ini-section]...
UpdateIniFields=update-inifields-section[,update-inifields-section]...
AddReg=add-registry-section[,add-registry-section]...
DelReg=del-registry-section[,del-registry-section]...
Ini2Reg=ini-to-registry-section[,ini-to-registry-section]...
Not all the
types of items shown in the syntax are needed or required in an Install section.
Section names must consist of printable characters. An item can contain more
than one section ; each name after the first must be preceded with a comma.
Items must specify the name of the corresponding section in the INF file. The
only exception to this is the CopyFiles item, which need not specify a
section if only one file is to be copied.
Note You only use Log
Config sections when installing a device driver. For more information, see
the DDK Programmer s Guide.
You can use a
special notation in the CopyFiles item to copy a single file directly
from the CopyFiles line. You can copy individual by prefixing the filename with
an @ symbol. The destination for any file copied using this notation is the
DefaultDestDir item, as defined in a DestinationDirs section. This is
demonstrated in the following example.
[MyInstall]
CopyFiles=@MyFile.exe
By appending
an extension to the name of the Install section, you can have different Install
sections for different operating systems or platforms, if necessary. The Setup
routines recognize the following extensions:
.Win Windows 95
.NT Windows
NT (all platforms)
.NTx86 Windows
NT (x86 only)
.NTMIPS Windows NT
(MIPS only)
.NTAlpha Windows NT
(Alpha only)
.NTPPC Windows
NT (PPC only)
The following
example Install section consists of a single line that lists two Copy
Files sections:
[Ser_Inst]
CopyFiles=Ser_CopyFiles, mouclass_CopyFiles
[Ser_CopyFiles]
sermouse.sys
[mouclass_CopyFiles]
mouclass.sys
