.inf install command missing in Win2k

[RMH 0]

W2k Pro has now without any reason, as far as I can see, lost the INSTALL

option on right-clicking an .INF file. It _was_ there previously. I have

tried to restore it by using regfiles from another computer to restore the

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\inffile] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.inf] keys, but that

still doesn't do the trick. I have also tried re-installing W2k over the

top, but that still doedn't cure the problem.

 

Is there a workaround to this please?

Under Folder Options, File Types (in explorer). Check advanced on .INF

 

Edit the action Install, it should be:

 

C:\WINNT\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %1

 

I'm not sure it will work, but check if its missing...

Many thanks, Toby - that did the trick.
