SPAPI_E_WRONG_INF_TYPE
SPAPI_E_WRONG_INF_TYPE (0x800F024A) is a Windows SetupAPI driver-installation error. This code means the INF does not match the operation being attempted. Not every INF is a device-installation INF, and some SetupAPI operations expect a specific INF type or section structure.
What to check
- Confirm that the selected file is the vendor's device driver INF, not an application, extension, or companion INF.
- Check the INF version, class, and model sections against the intended action.
- Use the package's documented install method when it is not a PnP device driver package.
