I think you can use devcon.exe

devcon.exe install inffile.inf Cntx_VPCNetS2

[George King]

I think you can use devcon.exe

devcon.exe install inffile.inf Cntx_VPCNetS2

Ok, i will try it. But what does mean Cntx_VPCNetS2.

[George King]

Hmm, not working, but i dont know why...

And here is addon on which i

[ricktendo]

IDK why it fails, but its what I used for my AwayMode addon. Its how I installed the INF files that would not install using syssetup.inf

[George King]

I

[ricktendo]

Well thats because you CANT run a virtual machine inside another virtual machine

The inf problem im not sure, those inf files are a tricky bunch there are some I wish I knew how to install them

[George King]

Yes, you can, i

[ricktendo]

And it ran you say...

[George King]

Yes, that

[5eraph]

Virtual PC may not know it is running within VirtualBox since they're different applications. Running Virtual PC within Virtual PC is generally disallowed. I don't know if VirtualBox is the same way.

I probably know less about device drivers than ricktendo64. But maybe the following command line will work...?

devcon.exe install VMNetSrv.INF VMNetSrv.ndi
