4.2Finding the Drivers That Match the DeviceThe second driver-installation subsection in a SetupAPI log file contains messages related to finding the device’s matching INF files—in other words, those that include hardware identifiers that match the device. SetupAPI parses each compatible INF file and loads its corresponding PNF file. The following example illustrates what this subsection looks like for an Oven device, if the default logging level is set. #I022 Found "Oven_Compatible_ID_1" in C:\WINDOWS\inf\Oven_INF_File_Name_1.inf; Device: "Device_Description_1"; Driver: "Oven_Driver_Description_1"; Provider: "Oven_Provider_Name_1"; Mfg: "Oven_Manufacturer_Name_1"; Section name: "Oven_install-section-name_1.HW". #I023 Actual install section: [Oven_install-section-name_1.HW]. Rank: 0x00002005. Effective driver date: 03/15/2003. #I022 Found "Oven_Hardware_ID_2" in C:\WINDOWS\inf\Oven_INF_File_Name_2.inf; Device: "Device_Description_2"; Driver: "Oven_Driver_Description_2"; Provider: "Oven_Provider_Name_2"; Mfg: "Oven_Manufacturer_Name_2"; Section name: "Oven_install-section-name_1.HW". #I023 Actual install section: [Oven_install-section-name_1.HW]. Rank: 0x00000002. Effective driver date: 03/15/2003.
