SPAPI_E_NO_INF

SPAPI_E_NO_INF means that SetupAPI attempted to build a driver list from an INF that no longer exists at the expected location. The package may have been removed, the path may be stale, or driver selection may be pointed at a directory without an applicable INF.

How to investigate

Log and verify the full INF path under the account that runs the installation.
Confirm that the driver package was staged or copied before building the list.
Check SetupAPI.dev.log for the searched path and any preceding signature or file-copy failure.
