Version (Windows CE 5.0)

Send Feedback

The [Version] section is required and specifies the creator of the file and other relevant information.

Note   The provider name and application name specified in the Version and CEStrings sections cannot contain XML reserved characters and Windows CE file system reserved characters, such as: \/:*?" < >|&.

[Version]
Signature = "signature_name"
Provider   = "INF_creator"
CESignature = "$Windows CE$"

Parameters

  • signature_name
    The name of the operating system (OS), which must have a value of either "$Windows NT$", or "$Windows 95$".

  • INF_creator
    The name of the company that created the application.

    Note   This string is restricted to a length of 32 characters. Longer strings will be truncated on the device. This restriction is because applications are registered on the device with a specific name for uninstallation purposes, which is created by concatenating the provider name and the application name. The following example shows the format used: <providername> <appname>. For more information, see CEStrings.

The following code example uses this format:

[Version]
Signature = "$Windows NT$"
Provider = "Microsoft"
CESignature = "$Windows CE$"
