Creating a Netmap.inf File

  • Artikel

Note  Vendor-supplied network upgrades are not supported in Microsoft Windows XP (SP1 and later), Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and later operating systems.

The netmap.inf file is a vendor-supplied file that resides either in a directory specified by an entry in the OemNetUpgradeDirs section of a netupg.inf file or in the directory that contains netupgrd.dll. The netmap.inf file:

  • Maps a network component's preupgrade device ID to the component's Microsoft Windows 2000 or later device ID

  • Specifies the network migration DLL that NetSetup loads

  • Optionally specifies an alternative Help message file

A network component that has built-in upgrade support in Windows 2000 or later operating systems does not require a vendor-supplied netmap.inf file because these components are automatically upgraded during the installation of Windows 2000 and later operating systems.
