How to install a .inf

[JC Home]

I am trying to install a codec, and when I uncompress it, it only has a .inf
(no exe). The instructions said to right click and then hit "install", but
I don't have that option when I right click. I've also tried using Add New
Programs from the Control Panel, but that doesn't work either.

Please help

Right click on the inf file. Read the menu and choose the appropriate
option.

All is says is "Open", and this opens in Notepad. Is there some way to run
it from a command prompt?

Thanks

Ahhh.... I had to extract the files first. I was trying to right click on
the inf while viewing it while still compressed.

All's well.
