Import inf file fails in Component Designer

Hello,

I attempted to import Intel's chipset inf file (ICH5Core.inf, January 10,
2005 Version 7.0.0 Build 1011) in Component Designer and got the following
error:
"*** Error ***:C:\sw\EmbeddedXP\Components\IS8620\Chipset\ich5core.inf: An
error occurred while getting the vendors list section name."

However a previous version (January 10, 2005 Version 7.0.0 Build 1011)
imported without this error.

Comparing the files shows that in that the [Manufacturer] section that works
is:
"%INTEL%=INTEL_HDC" and the problematic file: "%INTEL%=INTEL_SYS,NTamd64".

I removed ",NTamd64" from the new version so the text reads
"%INTEL%=INTEL_SYS" and the inf file imports properly.

The question is as follows: Did Intel generate an invalid .inf file, or
does Microsoft need to fix the .inf import function in their Component
Designer? On the other hand, I could be missing something in the component
design process, in which case, would someone please enlighten me?

Thank you,
Tony Brown
 
Hi Tony,
The import framework should handle the case where the INF uses a comma in place of a decimal as a separator in the MFG string. This is already bugged.

Thank you
