![]() Any INF with a SourceDisksNames section must also have an INF SourceDisksFiles section. RemarksĪ SourceDisksNames section can have any number of entries, one for each distribution disk. ![]() For more information, see the Remarks section. The value should specify the file name and extension without path information. Starting with Windows XP, if flags is set to 0x10, this optional value specifies the name of a tag file supplied on the distribution medium, either in the installation root or in the subdirectory specified by path. Otherwise, flags is for internal use only. Starting with Windows XP, setting this to 0x10 forces Windows to use tag-or-cab-file as a cabinet file name, and to use tag-file as a tag file name. However, tag files and cabinet file must reside either in the given path directory or in the installation root. You can use an INF SourceDisksFiles section to specify subdirectories, relative to a given path directory, that contain source files. If this value is omitted from an entry, files are assumed to be in the installation root of the distribution disk. The path is relative to the installation root and is expressed as \ dirname1 \ dirname2. This optional value specifies the directory path on the distribution disk that contains source files. This entry is no longer supported for Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows. ![]() cab extension is specified, Windows treats the file as both a tag file and a cabinet file, as explained in the following Remarks section.įor Windows XP and later versions of Windows, also see the flags and tag-file entry values. cab, Windows uses it as the name of a cabinet file that contains the installation files. If Windows cannot find installation files by name on the installation medium, and if tag-or-cab-file has the extension. Tag files are required for removable media, and are optional for fixed media. Windows uses a tag file to verify that the user inserted the correct installation disk. The value should specify only the file name and extension, not any directory or subdirectory. This optional value specifies the name of a tag file or cabinet (.cab) file supplied on the distribution disk, either in the installation root or in the subdirectory specified by path, if any. Any disk-description that is not a % strkey% token is a user-visible string that must be delimited by double quotation marks characters ( ") if it has any leading or trailing spaces. The installer can display the value of this string to the end-user during installation, for example, to identify a source disk to be inserted into a drive at a particular stage of the installation process.Įvery % strkey% specification in this section must be defined in the INF's Strings section. Specifies a % strkey% token or a " quoted string " that describes the contents and/or purpose of the disk identified by diskid. If there is more than one source disk for the distribution, each diskid entry in this section must have a unique value, such as 1, 2, 3, and so forth. This value cannot require more than 4 bytes of storage. Specifies a nonnegative integer, in decimal format, that identifies a source disk.
