INF installs in Vista?

Postby Jnzk » Fri Apr 06, 2007 2:39 pm

Is there a trick to make right-click -> Install from .inf files work in Vista x64? I tried to install Lagarith and Lame ACM, but neither shows up in Virtualdub. I'm using 32-bit versions.

I just did this last night and it worked fine.

Lagarigh Readme wrote:Installing the 32bit version on Windows 64
Extract all the files to a folder
Open up a command prompt (start->run: cmd)
Change directories to sysWOW64 ("cd C:\windows\syswow64")
Type the following (replace example_path with the actual path to the extracted files), then hit enter: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\example_path\lagarith.inf
This method can also be used for installing other 32bit codecs such as Huffyuv that install via a .inf file.

Silly me for not noticing the readme :oops:

I had to run the command prompt as admin, but finally got Lagarith installed. Thanks!
