Specifying the Upgrade DLL in a Netmap.inf File

  • Article

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

A netmap.inf file must have an OemUpgradeSupport section. For each network component to be upgraded, the OemUpgradeSupport section must contain an entry that has the following format:

postupgrade-ID = network-migration-DLL[ , Inf-file-name]

where:

postupgrade-ID is the network component's Windows 2000 or later device ID, which was obtained by NetSetup, as described in Winnt32 Phase of the Network Upgrade Process.

network-migration-DLL is the name of the network migration DLL that NetSetup must load to upgrade the network component. Only one migration DLL can be specified in a netmap.inf file. If the netmap.inf file contains device ID mappings for more than one component, then all such components must be upgraded by the same migration DLL.

Inf-file-name is the name of the INF file that installs the network component.
