In some INF-files I have found a [*.Det] section, for instance in the
msports.inf from Microsoft, which can be found in the Windows INF
directory.

[*pnp0400.det]
AddReg=Ports.AddReg

[Ports.AddReg]
HKR,,NoSetupUI,,1

I have included these registry keys in my own INF, but no key is
written to the registry. Here are some parts of my own INF:

[Version]
Signature=$CHICAGO$
Class=EasyLon
ClassGuid={83DEAF30-A361-11d4-8B02-00609735622E}
Provider=%MFGNAME%
DriverVer=05/23/2006,3.00.0.0

[Manufacturer]
%MFGNAME%=DeviceList

[DeviceList]
%DESCRIPTION_LV4%=DriverInstall_LV4, *LV40101
%DESCRIPTION_LVP2%=DriverInstall_LVP,
PCI\VEN_1555&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00041555&REV_03,
PCI\VEN_1555&DEV_0004&REV_03
%DESCRIPTION_MIP%=ChildInstall, *LVP_MIP0001
%DESCRIPTION_VNI%=ChildInstall, *LVP_VNI0001

[ControlFlags]
ExcludeFromSelect=*LVP_MIP0001,*LVP_VNI0001

;---------------------------------------------------------------;
; The .Det sections are added to the devnode at detection time
; only. The PreCopySection is simply setting the NoSetupUI
; flag so that the critical pieces (such as logical
; configurations) are in place at the time the device is started
; during first boot.
;---------------------------------------------------------------;

[PreCopySection]
HKR,,NoSetupUI,,1
HKR,,SilentInstall,,1
HKR,,PreCopyDummy,,1

[PCI\VEN_1555&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00041555&REV_03.Det]
AddReg=PreCopySection

[*LV40101.Det]
AddReg=PreCopySection

[*LVP_MIP0001.Det]
AddReg=PreCopySection

[*LVP_VNI0001.Det]
AddReg=PreCopySection

I have added the dummy key PreCopyDummy to see, whether anywhere in the
registry these keys are written, but I have not found it, when I
install any of these devices (The *LV40101 is a non plug-and-play
device, the others installed as plug-and-play device.

Thanks in advance,

Volker
