INF Utility installation in Windows 7

idata — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 17:05:54 GMT

When I install the selfextracting infinst911autol.exe, I go through the installer screens and the reboot. After that, there is the expected "C:/Program Files/Intel/InfInst" but the only contents are the two .txt files (license and readme).

No *.inf files in there. Where they go (I cannot locate through search)?

Am I doing something wrong?

That is normal as the INF file will be in the system32 folder.

Can you please indicate where exactly in system32?

I got confused by what it is written in the readme Intel file:

* 5. CONTENTS OF THE EXTRACTED FILES

************************************************************

INF files are copied to the hard disk after running the

Intel(R) Chipset Device Software executable with an '-A'

flag (i.e., "INFINST_AUTOL.EXE -A" or "SETUP.EXE -A").

The location of the INF files depends on whether a '-P'

flag is specified along with the '-A' flag:

1. If a '-P' flag is not specified, then the INF files are

copied to the following directory:

"C:\Program Files\Intel\INFINST"

2. If a '-P' flag is specified, then the INF files are copied

to the location listed immediately after the '-P' flag.

Refer to Section 4 for more information on flag usage.

After INF file extraction, the INF files and components are

copied to the . These files and

components are categorized according to the operating system.

The following table summarizes the locations of the

INF files by operating system:

NOTE:

"" is abbreviated "" in

the remainder of this section.

The directories are classified according to the following:

All\

Contains INF files designed for

Windows* 2000, Windows* XP, Windows Server* 2003,

Windows Server* 2008, and Windows* Vista

Win7\

Contains INF files designed for

Windows* 7 and Windows Server* 2008 R2

NOTE:

INFAnswr.TXT makes a CUSTOM.INF template that installs

the INF files for Intel(R) chipsets during operating

system setup. OEMs can incorporate this file into the

Setup directory for the OEM Preload Kit.

(Refer to Section 8 for more details.)

On the other hand, I was also troubled by the installation log entries.
