Really having trouble with INF's and WFP

Could someone please offer suggestions. I keep getting “The
system cannot find the file specified” error when I try to
add this driver.

It copies the driver just fine and it’s the only file being
copied yet I still get this error.

Inf files are the pits, eh? You did turn on verbose setup logging, right?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this is an error - you don’t use layout files,
microsoft does

[Vendor_Service_Inst]
DisplayName = %SvcDesc%
ServiceType = 1 ; SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER
StartType = 3 ; SERVICE_DEMAND_START
ErrorControl = 0 ; SERVICE_ERROR_IGNORE
ServiceBinary = C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\joystick.sys
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This should be ServiceBinary = %12%\joystick.sys

Thanks for your reply.

Your telling me. I could have created an install program in
about 15 minutes.

I know I know. I have commented it in and out and it doesn’t
make a difference as to my problem. I’m installing the hidgame
example. It would be nice if the inf files in the ddk worked.

It was, I just did that to just to check it and didn’t change
it back.

LogLevel=0xFFFF
setuplog.txt remains empty.

I have also run chkinf and get no error or warnings and I
still get the complaint about it not being able to find
the specified file.
