Thanks, but the cbd-files are bound to the local system. For example, when
you install a videodriver, windows will generate a oem??.inf file in the
inf-directory. When the driver is signed, it will create a corresponding
oem??.cat-file in the catroot folder. At the end of the sequence windows
will modify the catroot.cbd with this updated information.

So these files are not exchangable. In my case (for example) a videodriver
could get named oem1.inf and on another computer named oem2.inf, so it's not
possible to copy the cbd-files from a computer to another computer.

Thanks for your support anyuway :-)
