[Request ] Where & When use "RegisterDLLs" + "RunPostSetupCommands" commands

[Ken@fri]

I'm little bit confused and need your lightnings.

What is correct way :

============COMMON SECTIONS OF EACH INF FILE=================

[Version]

Signature="$Windows NT$"

[Optional Components]

EasyCapture

[beginInsPrompt]

Title ="::. %InsTitle% .::"

Prompt ="%InsQuest%"

ButtonType=YESNO

[EndInsPrompt]

Prompt="%EndInsPrompt%"

[Create.i386]

CMD /Q /C MD """%01%\i386""" & COPY /D /Y """%01%\*.cab""" """%01%\i386"""

INF 1 & INF 2 seems to work fine, but I need to make it perfect.

Thanx for ur help. :icon_cool:

amazing coincidence, i was asking the same question only days ago regarding an addon i am trying to create and i think ricktendo64 summed it up best at http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?s=&...ost&p=33296 and you might even be able to simplify your constructed commands.

[MrNxDmX]

 Section [DefaultDestDir] referenced in [DestinationDirs] does not exist in EzCpture.inf!

FGCBA cannot handle that value. Just delete this line when you're running fgcba, then re-enable it in your inf.

DefaultDestDir =17 (required for real-time addon installing, not windows setup)

You've used Make.Dir section as a DLL register section. SO fgcba will look for dll syntax.

And this doesnt seem to be a dll register syntax:P

11,,rundll32.exe,,,"advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %THIS_FILE%,SnapShots.Folder"

My idea (delete while fgcba check, then re-enable) will help you with this too. I dont know any other way to eliminate this.

- Section [Snapshots.Files] referenced in [DestinationDirs] does not exist in EzCpture.inf!

As fas as i can see you're really not using it anywhere. ?

@ bigfatroundguy

Thanx 4 your help. Link u gave was very usefull.

@ MrNxDmX

I've rechecked my INF, found all errors /mistakes & fixed it. Thanx.
