Re: SOLVED (was: How to debug INF file for Windows 98?)

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



The '0' parameter is optional. A second comma is NOT optional.

The DDK documentation does show it that way:

diskid = disk-description[,[tag-or-cab-file],[unused,path][,flags]]

As you can see, as soon you provide a first comma, you have to provide
another one.
