I've got a C++ version of this we've used for our project, it doesn't use devcon; devcon isn't legally redistributable :( but it calls the same function(s) devcon would so it *is* redistributable.
It needs some headers from the DDK and links with setupapi.lib, wbemuuid.lib and the basic windows libs. Those headers cannot be redistributed either, so you'll have to get a DDK to compile this. Luckily you can redistribute the resulting binary. It configures the loopback adapter with 192.168.254.254/255.255.255.0. This is hardcoded right now, as I haven't really bumped into any conflicts and our installer doesn't ask the user about it. If the user wishes, he can modify the IP by changing the properties on the adapter using the windows UI, after all. If you are doing an automated install, you can either recompile it with a new IP or a command-line parser. I've been waiting until I "spruced it up" before submitting it, and of course never did. So here's the source; if you want a binary (its 70k zipped if I include the binary, and I didn't want to spam the list) I can send that to whoever requests it. If you do make use of it, please submit bugs back to me...
