SYMPTOMS
When you use the CabWizSP utility from the Smartphone Software Development Kit (SDK) to create a .cab file, CabWizSP does not create the .cab file, and the user receives an error message that it cannot find the path that is specified in the [SourceDiskNames] section. The path information appears as if text on the line after the path has been appended.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if there is a trailing backslash (\) in the path of the [SourceDisksNames] section in the .inf file.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, remove the trailing backslash.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The following .inf file reproduces the error message: [SourceDisksNames.x86] 1 = ,&quot;x86 Files&quot;,,..\x86\ 2 = ,&quot;Common files&quot;,,..\Common Because the path for &quot;x86 Files&quot; includes a trailing backslash, the user may receive the following error message:

Error: Section [SourceDisksNames.x86] - path

C:\CabInstall\CAB's\BlackJack\INF\..\x862 = not found

If you use the /err switch with CabWizSP, the error is written to the .err output file.
