During driver installation, the PnP manager gathers the device ID of the h/w from its bus driver and uses it to find the corresponding .inf file and uses it for installation.
Is there anyway to find out what is the device ID that is OS is using while it is trying to find the .inf file? Is there any place where the Device ID will be logged while the OS is looking for the .inf file?
Look at the setupAPI log.
