Hi,

I have a sound card driver that was successfully being installed on XP. Now
on Vista I get 'A service installation section in this INF is invalid." How
is it to troubleshoot that? Maybe there are tools in DDK that shows how
everything is going on?

Thanks.

The first rule of installation debugging is run ChkInf and fix all errors
and warnings. No matter how dumb the warning seems it can stop the install.
The second thing is to enable "SetupAPI logging" (see the DDK/WDK
documentation with that title to understand the options for the specific OS)
to get a log and see where the problem is.

Thank you so much, Don, with ChkInf I fixed the error. BTW, I found that
Vista by default writes a log about device installation into
%WINDIR%\inf\setupapi.dev.log.
