STATUS_PNP_DRIVER_CONFIGURATION_INCOMPLETE
STATUS_PNP_DRIVER_CONFIGURATION_INCOMPLETE says that the current configuration is not sufficient to use the device. It is more specific than an unmatched driver: Plug and Play reached a configuration, but a required part of that configuration is missing or unusable for the target device.
Do not treat a successful INF match as a successful installation. The PnP sequence still has to create the device stack, assign resources where needed, and send the start request. The installation log is the practical record that connects a selected package to the first incomplete configuration step.
Diagnostic boundary
- Compare the selected model and install section with the exact device IDs and target platform.
- Check whether package components, service entries, or extension configuration expected by that selection were actually installed.
- Keep this distinct from a resource-translation failure, which occurs later when assigned hardware resources are prepared for the driver.
