Ticket #21982, comment 4
v1 v2 10 10 However, I can't understand why the "new style .inf" works on 64-bit Vista. Maybe MS at some point added a compatibility shim that also loads per-manufacturer SoftwareSettings sections ? Who knows. 11 11 12 In any case: XP/w2003 64-bit versions also need a "old style INF", but I think this is just to fix this .SoftwareSettings issue (rather than due to not being able to understand 'NTx86' or commas or anything like that).12 In any case: XP/w2003 64-bit versions also need a "old style INF", but I think this is just to fix this .SoftwareSettings issue (rather than due to XP not being able to understand 'NTx86' or commas or anything like that). 13 13 14 I guess very likely that if we were to fix the .SoftwareSettings issue in the "new style INFs" then XP (both 32 & 64) could go back to using the "new style INF". 14 I guess very likely that if we were to fix the .SoftwareSettings issue in the "new style INFs" then XP (both 32 & 64) could go back to using the "new style INF". EDIT: Confirming: 32-bit XP can understand the "new style INF" just fine, but only if I rename the .SoftwareSettings section to VBoxVideo_Install.SoftwareSettings .
