INF DDInstall.Components Section

This optional section contains one or more INF AddComponent directives that reference additional INF-writer-defined sections in a driver package INF file. This section is supported for Windows 10 Version 1703 and later.

[install-section-name.Components] |
[install-section-name.nt.Components] |
[install-section-name.ntx86.Components] |
[install-section-name.ntia64.Components] |
[install-section-name.ntamd64.Components] |
[install-section-name.ntarm.Components] |
[install-section-name.ntarm64.Components] |
 
AddComponent=ComponentName,[flags],component-install-section
[Include=filename.inf[,filename2.inf]...]
[Needs=inf-section-name[,inf-section-name]...]

You can provide a DDInstall.Components section with one or more AddComponent directives to create a symbolic relationship between a driver package and any number of software components.

Entries

AddComponent=ComponentName,[flags],component-install-section

This directive references an INF-writer-defined component-install-section elsewhere in the INF file for the drivers of the devices covered by this DDInstall section. For more information, see INF AddComponent Directive.

Include=filename.inf[,filename2.inf]...
Specifies one or more additional system-supplied INF files that contain sections needed to install this device. If this entry is specified, usually so is a Needs entry.

Needs=inf-section-name[,inf-section-name]...
Specifies the named sections that must be processed during the installation of this device. Typically, such a named section is a DDInstall.Components section within a system-supplied INF file that is listed in an Include entry. However, it can be any section that is referenced within such a DDInstall.Components section of the included INF.

Remarks

DDInstall.Components sections should have the same platform and operating system decorations as their related DDInstall sections. For example, an install-section-name.ntx86 section would have a corresponding install-section-name.ntx86.Components section.

The specified DDInstall section must be referenced in a device/models-specific entry under the per-manufacturer Models section of the INF file. The case-insensitive extensions to the install-section-name shown in the formal syntax statement can be inserted into such a DDInstall.Components section name in cross-platform INF files.

For more information about how to use the system-defined .nt, .ntx86, .ntia64, .ntamd64, .ntarm, and .ntarm64 extensions, see Creating INF Files for Multiple Platforms and Operating Systems.

Examples

[ContosoGrfx.NT.Components]
AddComponent = ContosoControlPanel,,Component_Inst

[Component_Inst]
ComponentIDs = VID0001&PID0001&SID0001
DisplayName = %ContosoControlPanelDisplayName%
