Re: Strange behavior INF file and Component Designer (0/1)

Pieter,

I tried to import the inf, and got hte same results. If manually changing it
worked I'd just leave it as is. If you want CD to get it right the first
time jsut choose "custom" from the parsing options and add the needed
sections of the .inf to the list under it's appropriate category. Make sure
to leave the [] off of the entry. Then click the import as usual. I tried
this with some success with your inf, so you should be able to make it work.

This is a known issue with CD.

What's happening is that when the manufacturer name has a comma in it, CD
ignores everything past the comma and only sees one entry in this case it
sees "DeviceList" and doesn't see this "DeviceList,NTx86.5.1". The XP
driver/service info is under this section "[DeviceList.NTx86.5.1]", so CD
only processes the section it did see which is the Win2k stuff under
"[DeviceList]". I've copied the sections i'm referring to at the bottom of
my message pointing out the sections i'm referring to.
To work around this, either modify the inf so the manufacturer section reads
"%MFGNAME%=DeviceList.NTx86.5.1" notice the dot in place of the comma?
Or you can do a custom import in CD and tell it the manufacturer section it
should process with the comma like this: "DeviceList,NTx86.5.1", then CD
will process it.
