If I have this right, this is not going to be an easy thing to implement, since it will need data marshalling, and other scary features, some of which I am working on now....right? I think we need some of the COM wizards around here to provide some guidance on this.
E.g.
rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\\WINDOWS\\inf\\mplayer2.inf,PerUserStub.NT
is supposed to load advpack.dll, locate the LaunchINFSection entry point and invoke it with the "C:\\WINDOWS\\inf\\mplayer2.inf,PerUserStub.NT" argument.
It's syntax is documented in the Knowledge Base article Q164787 (or at http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/system/rundll32.htm)
It turned out to be pretty easy to implement: I already have a working version :-)
