installing .inf files

[mkruckow]

hi there,

does anyone of you know whether there is there a way to install .inf-files (executing the second command in the context menu).

Thanx for your help.

first up just try a File.Run action ..consult the help for that action
while in scripting mode.

will need to get your file path correct...

this is a good one to see how it can be done..

get back here with your code etc if you get stuck or get it work'n
..if thats ok by you.

i've already tried this one. the file.run command only works with executable files. i already know that the shell.execute command at least opens the inf-file but my problem is how to access the install command for this type of file.

[SUF6NEWBIE]

Yep...we'll see what someone come up with..there's goota be a way.

could be similar to an 'autorun.inf' file for say cdrom media etc.

the command could be something like 'install = my.inf' or something similar ?

All you'd need to do is make some changes to the Registry in order to make those right-click context menu associations. Which registry changes you make are up to you, depending on what you want to accomplish. A quick Google search or a Regedit search for your keys/values would be the quickest way to figure that out. It's definitely possible with Setup Factory 7.0.

Try using the Shell.Execute action with the "install" verb and see if that works.
