Hi.

I want to generate a CAB which install a file in root folder. Inside
VS 2005 I can not put a file in root folder. I try to edit the .inf
file to generate the CAB mannually with cabwiz but give me errors.

..inf file
---------------

[SourceDisksFiles]
"System.Data.SQLite.dll"=1

[DestinationDirs]
Files.Common1=0,""

[Files.Common1]
"System.Data.SQLite.dll","System.Data.SQLite.dll", ,0


----------------
CabWiz.log
----------------

Error: Section [DestinationDirs] key "Files.Common1" requires valid
data

.....

What I'm doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

Iago.

The root destination is not an empty string, it would be "\"
