SPAPI_E_NOT_AN_INSTALLED_OEM_INF

SPAPI_E_NOT_AN_INSTALLED_OEM_INF (0x800F023C) is a Windows SetupAPI driver-installation error. This error means an operation expected a published OEM INF, such as oem42.inf, but the supplied file is not an installed third-party driver package in the Driver Store.

What to check

Enumerate installed third-party driver packages and use the published INF name reported there.
Do not substitute the original vendor INF path where an installed OEM INF is required.
Confirm that the driver package was staged successfully before trying to manage or remove it.
