I have a CAB file that contains a DLL and INF file.

If I package these up within an MSI can I assume the package will execute the cab install using the INF?

Thanks for any insights ... I'm basically trying to deploy (via a GPO) the contents of the cab.

Per-se the MSI will simply copy the CAB file. If you want it to execute the INF you will have to add a custom action that does something like rundll32 with the command line parameters to execute the inf.

Thanks, any resources you could point me too?

Is this a driver install or a software install? In other words: Does the INF file have a DefaultInstall section?

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to do it for software installation...

Thank you very much

Please look at sample "Install a Windows Shell INF File" at http://www.installsi.../en/isp_ext.htm. It's written in InstallScript but you should be able to produce something similar in the programming language of your choice.
