Hello,

Look at SetupAPI.h and you will find that:

e0000003 is ERROR_GENERAL_SYNTAX
e000024a is ERROR_WRONG_INF_TYPE

I suggest you turn on debug logging so you can see what is going on in the parser:

Use: SetDifxLogCallback

You can simply write the messages to a log file in the callback function.

Most likely your INF file has a problem.  Have you tried using it with DPInst.exe?  Your INF file should install properly with DPInst.exe before you try and use it iwth DriverPackageInstall.

Good luck,
