SPAPI_E_NO_CATALOG_FOR_OEM_INF

SPAPI_E_NO_CATALOG_FOR_OEM_INF (0x800F022F) is a Windows SetupAPI driver-installation error. This code means an OEM INF does not provide the catalog information Windows expects for package signature verification. For Plug and Play installation, the catalog is the package-level signature and identifies the files that belong to the driver package.

What to check

Make sure the package includes the catalog file named by the INF's CatalogFile entry.
Use the original, complete vendor package; do not mix INF, SYS, and CAT files from different releases.
Check the signing details in setupapi.dev.log before changing security settings.
