SYMPTOMS
In versions of Windows previous to Windows 98 Second Edition, it was sometimes necessary to specify a relative path for files in the SourceDisksFiles section of a device driver .inf file. For example, in order to specify that the file will be found in the directory '..\drivers\win_95', the following notation may be used in the .inf file:

[SourceDisksFiles] mydrvr.drv=1,"..\DRIVERS\WIN_95" Relatives paths, however, may not work properly in Windows 98 Second Edition.

RESOLUTION
Device driver .inf files may instead include the full path as the fourth parameter to each of the disk name keys in the SourceDisksPaths section:

[SourceDisksNames] 1="My Driver Install CD",,0,"\DRIVERS\WIN_9X" Additional query words: INF driver instal
