SPAPI_E_ERROR_NOT_INSTALLED

SPAPI_E_ERROR_NOT_INSTALLED (0x800F1000) is a Windows SetupAPI driver-installation error. This code means the requested operation found no installed component to act on. It can occur when the package was never staged successfully, the wrong published INF was used, or the device is no longer using that package.

What to check

Enumerate installed third-party driver packages and verify the published INF name.
Confirm the current driver bound to the target device before attempting update, rollback, or removal.
Review earlier SetupAPI entries to determine whether the original installation actually completed.
