Default Problems with installation thru INF files

Hi Group,

Ours is a webApplication which uses VC Redistributable
Asssembly's(Dependent on MFC80.dll). For this sake we need to package 2
of the msm files along with our cab file and install them (msm files)
on the Client machine.

This installation we are planning to have it thru inf file. We have
converted the msm files to msi files seperately. We are planning to use
msiexec to install our msi files.

Below is the Inf file which we are currently using.

;INF file for FileFuncs.ocx
;DestDir can be 10 for Windows directory, 11 for Windows\System(32)
directory, or left blank for the Occache directory.

[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
AdvancedINF=2.0

[Add.Code]
2.ocx=2.ocx
MFC80.dll=MFC80.dll
MSVCR80.dll=MSVCR80.dll
Microsoft_VC80_DebugOpenMP_x86.msi=Microsoft_VC80_ DebugOpenMP_x86.msi

[2.ocx]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
RegisterServer=yes
clsid={3B28CEBB-694C-42CB-CCB2-137F7B23B918}
DestDir=
FileVersion=8,0,1,0

[MSVCR80.DLL]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
DestDir=11
RegisterServer=No
FileVersion=8,0,50727,42

[MFC80.DLL]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
DestDir=11
RegisterServer=No
FileVersion=8,0,50727,42

[Microsoft_VC80_DebugOpenMP_x86.msi]
file-win32-x86=thiscab
RegisterServer=No

[Setup Hooks]
AddToRegHook=AddToRegHook
hook=hook1

[AddToRegHook]
InfSection=DefaultInstall

[hookl]
run=%EXTRACT_DIR%\Microsoft_VC80_DebugOpenMP_x86.m si


The msi file is not getting installed on the client machine at all. Our
activeX Control is not getting registered because of the msi file not
getting installed.

To Deploy mfc80.dll and its dependent side-by-side assemblies is there
any other way.
Why is this installation failing?

Thanks in Advance

Regards,
suresh

You might have better luck finding an answer if you ask in a developers
newsgroup. Perhaps there's an MSDN VC forum that would suit. I'm just afraid
that your post here will go unnoticed by the people who might have your
answer.
