MSDN documents that function as being available on Windows 2000 and up. I'm supporting Windows 98 SE. YMMV
I'm using exactly the technique that the .Net frameworks uses, for similar reasons.

If you can get info, it exists, that's it. There are more advanced solutions, these require functions in SETUPAPI.DLL such as SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo() and is not for the faint of heart. With this interface you can get all the information shown in the Device Manager applet including drivers and physical location. Don't dig in the registry, this is not recommended, especially when documented interfaces exist.
