I am trying to pre-install driver service (without physical hardware
being connected) using DriverPackageInstall. When called without the flag,
DRIVER_PACKAGE_ONLY_IF_DEVICE_PRESENT, DriverPackageInstall is not supposed
return ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVINST (See here,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790275.aspx). However, it does as
seen the output below. Is this bug in DriverPackageInstall or is my
understanding of its behavior incorrect?
Thanks in advance,
