[Video] How to make a INF Program addon

[ricktendo]

Its easy once you know what the different sections do

[chicho1970]

Hi Ricktendo64, your tutorials are great & your knowledge of infs is astounding. Just wondering if it's possible to make an office 2007 addon in the same manner that you demonstrate in the videos with imgburn. I am about to give it a try even though it has been done before as it is for my own xp install CD.

Thanks for all the information you make available.

No too complicated, best to install silently

I cant remember off the top of my head who came up with this trick (I think it was DaRk MaDnEsS) but here is the fix for you

[dektop]
Name	   = Show Desktop
CmdLine	= 16422,"Utilities\ShowDesktop\Show Desktop.exe",
SubDir   = Utilities
WorkingDir = 16422,Utilities,ShowDesktop
InfoTip	= "Show Desktop button and Aero Peek"

Its basically the same way you do a shortcut for a folder, only with a folder you need to specify a iconpath/index...but because this is a exe the .LNK automatically picks up on this

More info

BTW you could also use the 8.3 filename of the file

CmdLine	= 16422,Utilities\ShowDesktop,SHOWDE~1.EXE

Try Orca, and search for the error code usually you find the cause of the warning (its usually in CustomAction)

[Guest]
