A device-removal section contains a section marker followed by the messages that SetupAPI logs when it removes a device.
Note
If an installer removes a device before it is fully installed, SetupAPI does not create a device-removal section. Instead, it adds the device-removal messages to the current driver-installation section. This indicates a bug in the installer, because an installer should never remove a device before it is fully installed—even if an installation error occurs.
SetupAPI logs device-removal messages only if an error occurs or if one of the verbose logging levels is set. If the default logging level is set and an error occurs, SetupAPI logs the following message, followed by the error messages:
-166 Device install function: DIF_REMOVE.
If one of the verbose logging levels is set, SetupAPI logs the following message, followed by any error messages:
@ 11:18:01.111 #V166 Device install function: DIF_REMOVE.
