3Device-Setup Class Installation SectionsThe device-setup class installation sections, which immediately follow the Windows installation header section, record the installation of the system-supplied device-setup classes. SetupAPI adds these sections to the log file during the GUI-mode setup phase of Windows installation. The following example contains two sections that illustrate the default messages logged by SetupAPI: [2003/05/22 16:35:47 336.12] #-199 Executing "C:\WINDOWS\system32\setup.exe" with command line: setup –newsetup #I140 Installing Device Class: "1394" {6BDD1FC1-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}. #I141 Class install completed with no errors. [2003/05/22 16:35:48 336.15] #-199 Executing "C:\WINDOWS\system32\setup.exe" with command line: setup –newsetup #I140 Installing Device Class: "Battery" {72631e54-78a4-11d0-bcf7-00aa00b7b32a}. #I141 Class install completed with no errors The two lines in the example that contain the time stamps are the section markers. Each #199 message indicates that SetupAPI installed a device-setup class by executing the setup -newsetup command line, which in turn indicates that the device-setup class was installed during the GUI-mode setup phase of Windows installation. The #I140 messages specify the GUIDs of the device-setup classes. If an error occurs, SetupAPI does not log a #I141 message. Instead, it logs a #E142 error message that identifies the device-setup class GUID and the cause of the error. Here is an example of such an error message: #E142 Class: {FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFF}. Install failed. Error 1168: Element not found.
If anyone deletes the SetupAPI log file after Windows has been installed, Windows creates a new SetupAPI log file and adds a Windows installation header section to it. Therefore, the new log file will not contain any of the sections that SetupAPI added during the GUI-mode setup phase of Windows installation. Note Many of the examples in this paper contain placeholders, which appear in italics. For the definitions of these placeholders, see Appendix D: Definition of Example Placeholders.
