GDFInstall.exe is a program used by Windows game developers to install the Game-Definition File (GDF) onto Windows Vista and Windows 7 so the game appears in the Games special folder with all its custom Icons, Shortcuts and Information. To install the GDF, simply drop the GDF....dll into GDFInstall.exe and it's all done (assuming the game isn't successfully added by the game Installer)
