Here is a description of the problem: -Environment is Win 7 SP1 Enterprise x64 -We are executing a MSI package which contains numerous INF files. These INF files are associated with drivers. To install the drivers , we make use of the API: InstallHInfSection.
The exact usage of InstallHInfSection is as follows: InstallHinfSection( NULL, NULL, INFFile, 0 ); However, what is happening is that, each and every time this API is invoked on a driver INF file, i am presented with a message box with the text: Installation Failed. I inspected the setupapi.app log file and did not find any errors. Everything seems to be fine. The driver .sys file is successfully copied to %windows%\system32\drivers. To confirm is InstallHInfSection works as expected, i executed the following command from outside of the .msi package: RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 <path to driver inf> Strangely, the above command works without any error messages. Do you have any pointers on what could be wrong? I am under tremendous pressure to provide an answer. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
