MS: Orphaned file apps.inf

[Doug Hoeffel]

MS:

When I perform right-click then Properties on the file
\Windows\System32\command.com, I get a dialog complaining about a missing
inf file apps.inf. This file is in the XPe SP1 repository, but not owned by
any component atleast that I could tell.

I can manually copy this file to \Windows\inf and the dialog no longer
appears.

Should this be part of the "DOS Windows on Windows Support" component?

Orphaned files are being addressed in a rollup qfe this summer. Thanks for
your patience, in the meantime, you can manually add the file. Sorry for the
inconvenience, I'll check on a bug for apps.inf.

Also forgot to mention that apps.inf was relnoted for SP1:

================
"Creating desktop shortcuts to MS-DOS programs is not supported. To resolve
this issue, add Apps.inf, which is located in the repository to the
Windows/inf folder, to your image. This will allow you to create shortcuts
to MS-DOS programs. Shortcuts to MS-DOS programs will then have a generic
icon instead of the MS-DOS icon."

That's what I get for not checking the release notes. Actually, I wasn't
trying to create a DOS shortcut on my desktop. I was having trouble related
to KB article 314452 and it mentioned to check the file command.com.
