66000

[Pascal Bouchard]

When importing a inf file (printer driver), several files have destination
path set at %66000%; what does it mean and what will it imply when deploying
?

Pascal,

The %66000% is usually expanded to something like "%SystemRoot%\system32\CatRoot-\GUID". It is a "dynamic" path and the installer
will usually associate it with SetupSetDirectoryId API call.

At run time you can check the path by calling to GetPrinterDriverDirectory API.
