Setup Toolkit .INF File Format and Disk Labels

• Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0, 3.1
• Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK), version 3.5

SUMMARY

In the Microsoft Setup Toolkit for Windows, the Source Media Descriptions section of the .INF file contains one line for each of the disks you use to install your application. Each of these lines consists of four quoted strings, separated by commas. The second quoted string is the disk label, which you create using the disk-layout utilities. This disk label has nothing to do with the MS-DOS disk label. The disk label in the .INF file comes from the Disk Labels command on the Options menu in DSKLAYT.EXE and is arbitrarily chosen by the developer during the disk-layout process.

The Setup Toolkit only uses this disk label to prompt the user for disks. The Setup Toolkit uses the tag filename in the Source Media Descriptions section to determine if the proper disk has been placed in the drive.
