Probabaly.

.SYS and .INF files are the most fundamental files in a driver.
It's strange that it is not referenced in the .INF, but if no other .SYS file is, it has to be the driver file.

take a look at chipset - most of the inf's do not include a copy file wink

This is poor QA on the vendors part.

We think there is no perfect automated tool.
I bet that when we leave this sys file out there are some reg entries for PnP calls getting a null.
There are a good many INF where you would see very few HWIDS and calls, and the driver has a baker's dozen of INI.
The INF and the INI are looked at and I see an INI call another INI.

in one of those, I see that file mentioned.

the short take.
I see a sys.
I look up reference in txt
aha, in that ini and in there too.
I don't scrubbit.

I am a mecanic.
I am not mechanised nor automated.

There's no SourceDiskFiles section but its included in [AX88140.CopyFiles] section in the file ax88140.inf
And Driver Compressor leaves the file ax88140.sys
Is this file unnecessary or is it a bug with Driver Compressor?

Thanks in advance.
