SYMPTOMS

When you install a component by clicking Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, clicking Have Disk on the Windows Setup tab, clicking Browse, and then clicking the folder or disk drive in which the appropriate setup information file (INF) is located, the following symptoms occur if there are multiple INF files in the location you specify:

You are unable to click a specific INF file to select it, and you are unable to scroll through the list of INF files if some are not viewable.

You are unable to click a specific INF file to select it.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Windows lists all of the INF files that are in the location you specify.

STATUS
