用来生成CAB安装文件的.inf文件制作（英文版）

 

Processor-Specific Sections

The .CAB files created using an .inf file are processor specific: Each one can be used with only one type of processor. To create processor-specific CAB files, you must append the processor type extension to some of the section names. For example:

		[DefaultInstall]  -  shared by all platforms
		[DefaultInstall.sh3]  - specific to the SH3 processor
		[DefaultInstall.mips]  - specific to the MIPS processor

The following sections can be appended with a processor-specific extension:

[CEDevice]
[DefaultInstall]
[SourceDisksNames]
[SourceDisksFiles]

INF Sections Used

An .inf file is made up of a number of sections, each of which starts with a section name in [brackets].

[Version]
Signature="signature-name"
Provider=provider-name
CESignature="$Windows CE___FCKpd___2quot;

• Signature - must be one of "$Windows NT$", "$Chicago$", or "$Windows 95$".
• Provider - name of the software provider.
• CESignature - must be included, and specified as above.

[CEDevice] *
[ProcessorType=processor-type]
[UnsupportedPlatforms=platform-family-name [ , platform-family-name]]
[VersionMin=[major_version.minor_version]]
[VersionMax=[major_version.minor_version]]
[BuildMin=[build-number]]
[BuildMax=[build-number]]

All of the above keys are optional.

• ProcessorType - The numeric processor type returned by SYSTEMINFO.dwProcessorType. SH3 processors normally have a value of 10003, and MIPS processors have a value of 4000.
• UnsupportedPlatforms - A list of platform family names that is known to be unsupported, i.e. "hpc" or "gryphon". It the connected device is listed here, the Application Manager will not display the application.
• VersionMin,VersionMax - The version returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMajor and OSVERSIONINFO.dwVersionMinor.
• BuildMin, BuildMax - The build information returned by OSVERSIONINFO.dwBuildNumber.

[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles=file-list-section [ , file-list-section]...
AddReg=add-registry-section [ , add-registry-section]...
CEShortcuts=shortcut-list-section [ , shortcut-list-section]...
CESetupDLL=[DLL-filename]
CESelfRegister=DLL-filename [ , DLL-filename]

• CopyFiles - a list of [CopyFiles] sections (see below) to be used.
• AddReg - a list of [AddRegistry] sections (see below) to be used.
• CEShortcuts - a list of [CEShortcuts] sections (see below) to be used.
• CESetupDLL - an ISV-created "Setup.DLL" that exports functions to be called during installation onto the Windows CE device.
• CESelfRegister - a list of self-registering DLLs to be installed. "DllRegisterServer()" will be called during installation, and "DllUnregisterServer()" will be called during uninstallation.

[SourceDisksNames]
disk-ordinal= , disk-label , , path
.
.
.

This section identifies and names the disk that contains the source files for file copying operations. The source files are listed in the [SourceDisksFiles] section (see below).

• disk-ordinal - a unique number that identifies a source disk. If there is more than one source disk, each must have a unique ordinal.
• disk-label - the label assigned to the source disk.
• path - specifies the absolute path to the files on the source disk.

[SourceDisksFiles]
filename=disk-ordinal [ , subdir]
.
.
.

This section names the source files used during installation and identifies the source disks that contain the files. The source disks are listed in the [SourceDisksNames] section (see above).

• filename - name of the file to be installed
• disk-ordinal - the ordinal number of the source disk where the file can be found. The ordinal number is specified in the [SourceDisksNames] section (see above).
• subdir - optional parameter that specifies a subdirectory on the source disk where the file can be found.

[DestinationDirs]
file-list-section=0, subdir
.
.
.

This section defines the destination directories for the operations specified in the [CopyFiles] and [CEShortcuts] sections (see below).

• file-list-section - the name of [CopyFiles] or [CEShortcuts] section that contains the names of the files/shortcuts to be copied to the destination directory.
• subdir - name of the destination directory to use. For Windows CE Version 2.0, this directory name can contain string macros for certain system directories, as defined below. Note that the macros are different for H/PCs and P/PCs, and that P/PCs do not support all of the macros.

[CopyFiles]
destination-file-name [ , source-file-name] [ , ,flag]
.
.

This section specifies files to be copied to the Windows CE device during installation. The actual file section name ("CopyFiles") is user-defined, and may vary.

• destination-file-name - name of the destination file to be created.
• source-file-name - optional parameter that specifies the name of the source file, if it is different than the name of the destination file.
• flag - optional flag that controls how the files are copied. The following flags are supported for Windows CE Version 2.0:

  COPYFLG_WARN_IF_SKIP            0x00000001
  COPYFLG_NOSKIP                  0x00000002
  COPYFLG_NO_OVERWRITE            0x00000010
  COPYFLG_REPLACEONLY             0x00000400
  CE_COPYFLG_NO_DATE_DIALOG       0x20000000 Do not copy if target is newer
  CE_COPYFLG_NODATECHECK          0x40000000 Ignore date and overwrite target
  CE_COPYFLG_SHARED               0x80000000 Reference-counting shared DLL
  

[CEShortcuts] *
shortcut-file-name, type-flag, target-file/path [ , standard-destination-path]
.
.
.

This section specifies shortcuts to be created on the Windows CE device during installation. The actual shortcut section name ("CEShortcuts") is user-defined, and may vary.

• shortcut-file-name - the name of shortcut file to be created. This name does not require the ".lnk" extension.
• type-flag - if 0 or empty, the target is a file. Any non-zero value indicates that the target is a pathname.
• target-file/path - if the target is a file, the target file name must be defined in a [CopyFiles] section (see above). If the target is a path, the path name must either be defined in [DestinationDirs], or set to %InstallDir%.
• standard-destination-path - optional parameter that specifies either one of the standard %CE% paths (see [DestinationDirs] section above), or %InstallDir%.

[AddRegistry]
reg-root-string, [subkey], [value-name], [flags], [value]
.
.
.

This section specifies registry entries to be created on the Windows CE device during installation. The actual registry section name ("AddRegistry") is user-defined, and may vary.

• reg-root-string - can be one of: HKCR (same as HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT), HKCU (same as HKEY_CURRENT_USER), HKLM (same as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE), or HKU (same as HKEY_USERS).
• subkey - optional parameter that specifies a sub-key to be created under the root key.
• value-name - optional parameter that specifies the name of the value to be created under the specified key. If left empty, the default value for the key is set.
• flags - flag the determines how the key/value is created, and the type of the value. The supported flags are:

  FLG_ADDREG_BINVALUETYPE     0x00000001

• value - optional value to set. This parameter can be either a string or a number in hexadecimal notation.

[CEStrings] *
AppName=application-name
InstallDir=default-installation-directory

• application-name - the name of the application being installed.
• default-installation-directory - the path to the directory to use as the default installation directory. This string is used for the %InstallDir% macro, required for many of the sections described above. When specifying this string, the standard %CE% macros (see [DestinationDirs] above) can be used.

[Strings]
string-name=value
.
.
.

This section defines custom string macros to be used when the INF file is compiled.

• string-name - The name of the new macro you want to create. For example, a value of "Provider" will allow you to use the newly created "%Provider%" macro anywhere in the INF file.
• value - The value that the string macro will expand to.
