The [Install] section identifies the additional sections in the INF file that contain descriptions of the device and instructions for installing files and information needed by the device drivers. The install-section-name must be defined in a [Manufacturer Name] section and consist of printable characters.

Not all entries in this section are needed or required. If an entry is given, it must specify the name of a section. (An exception to this is the CopyFiles entry.) More than one name can be given for each entry, but each additional name must be preceded by a comma. The exact format and meaning of the corresponding entry depends on the entry type and is described in later sections. Each [Install] section should include the creation date of the driver set.

The Reboot or Restart entries can be added to the [Install] section to force the system to either restart or to reboot the machine after performing the commands in the [Install] section.

This example shows a typical [Install] section. It contains a LogConfig entry that identifies two logical configuration sections for this device. It also contains Copyfiles and AddReg entries that identify the sections containing information about which files to install.

The CopyFiles entry provides a special notation that allows a single file to be copied directly from the copy line. An individual file can be copied by prefixing the file name with an @ symbol. The destination for any file copied using this notation will be the DefaultDestDir as defined in the [DestinationDirs] section. The following example shows how to copy individual files:

CopyFiles=FileSection1,@myfile.txt,@anotherfile.txt,LastSectionName
