Making a CAB to put in serial numbers

[swimmrguy]

Sorry about this basic question...but I have searched, and tried some tutorials I found on the web and I can't get it right.

I simply want to make a CAB that will put the serial numbers of some of my PPC software into the registry. Now that I am hard resetting with some frequency, I am trying to make some of the re-set up steps simpler.

I have done the registry dumps and WinDiff, and think that I have isolated the proper keys. But I am stuck at making the INF file. It would appear that I cannot leave certain headings blank, such as [SourceDisksNames], [SourceDisksFiles], [DestinationDirs]. I have no idea what to put in these, if I simply want to add a couple of keys to the registry.

I did try to unassemble some CABs (such as luv2chill's VC button 5 fix) with MSCEinf that didn't help. From that, it would appear to have empty [SourceDisksFiles] and [DestinationDirs]--which CabWizSP complains of if I try to leave them empty.

Any help to get started is appreciated.

Just create your own custom settings cab. Have it add the necessary registry entries. That is it. You can have your ExtRom install the cab during boot.
