Under \Tools\chkinf\ there’s a tool
for checking the inf file Syntax. You should also have
“perl.exe” somewhere in your path.


ChkINF is a Perl script that checks the structure and syntax
of Microsoft? Windows? 2000 device driver .inf files. Results
are presented in HTML format, and include a list of the errors
and warnings detected in each .inf file, with each error and
warning shown next to the errant .inf file entry. Please note
the Limitations section below. Note that ChkINF does not
support Windows 98 .inf files.

Which INF you are talking about 2k or nt,
For 2k you could chkinf tool for checking the INF.
In case of nt you could put debug messages by having this section in your
INF
[DebugOptions]
;
; Debugging variables
;
!G:DebugOutputControl = 1
TraceConfig = 1

and writing the following code in the section you want to print the debug
messages

read-syms DebugOptions
Debug-Output “NSC.INF: In [InstallOption] section”

shashi
