Windows XPdevice installation question.

Dear XP developers,

I use SetupCopyOEMINF API to install my driver under Windows XP build 2462.

After doing this, if I connect my device, the OS is not automatically
taking the copied oem*.inf file from the location Windows\INF.
Instead, it is launching the “Found New Hardware” wizard. Now if I choose
the option “Install the software automatically ( recommended )” the
oem*.inf is located from the Windows\INF directory and the device installs
properly.

This additional step is very annoying and does not happen in Win2000.

Does anyone know why it happens so in XP. My device is a USB device and the
driver is yet to go through certification.

Thanks and regards,
