SYMPTOMS
========
When the _MSTEST application in the Microsoft Windows Setup Toolkit processes a
Setup information (.INF) file, processing stops with the error message
Bad Destination value in INF File Description line.
CAUSE
=====
The sixth file property of each file's description must be empty.
RESOLUTION
==========
Modify the .INF file to remove any value from the sixth file property of each
file description. Specify each file's destination directory as a parameter to
the function that adds the file to the copy list (AddSectionFilesToCopyList,
AddSectionKeyFileToCopyList, or AddSpecialFileToCopyList).
MORE INFORMATION
================
The "Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit: Setup Toolkit for Windows"
manual documents the "Files" section of the .INF file format on pages 118-121.
On page 119, in Table A.1, the sixth property in a file description is called
the destination property and is documented to contain the destination directory
for the file. This is incorrect; the sixth field of a file entry must be blank.
