.inf and .pnf files in capture
hi all,
my app is a label creator that uses a usb connected printer. basically in my setup capture i have oem0.inf and oem0.pnf in the windows\inf directory. i think that these are not needed. am i correct? can anyone give me a clear reason why these are needed, not needed.
thanks in advance

Usually when you see OEM*.INF files popping up in %SYSTEMROOT%\INF, it means that Windows has installed a driver. When Windows installs a driver (always from an INF file somewhere), it copies the file to %SYSTEMROOT%\INF and gives it a new OEM based name. The PNF files are generated automatically and are basically precompiled versions of the INF files (I think).
I would say that the driver should either be separated from the software installation, or dealt with in the correct way for drivers (use the DIFX driver installation framework).
