NT/W98 Install APIs

NTDEV
1

I am intrested in using an application to install the drivers. However,
some of the APIs available on W2K etc are not available with NT/W98. For
now I am specifically looking for alternatives to SetupCopyOEMInf() &
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices().

Any info on how to achieve this functionality on the older OSes would be
appreciated.

Thanks.

Somehere there must exist an sample ‘ipinst’ from MSFT that uses the 16-bit
DiXXX functions to do an installation. AFAIK ‘SetupCopyOEMInf’ can
only be replaced by copying the inf-file to the inf-dir. Hmm, I
think Walter Oney in his Book also had some good installer code suitable
for 9X.
