SetupGetInfPublishedNameW function (setupapi.h)
The SetupGetInfPublishedName function retrieves the fully qualified file name (directory path and file name) of an INF file in the system INF file directory that corresponds to a specified INF file in the driver store or a specified INF file in the system INF file directory.
Syntax
WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupGetInfPublishedNameW(
[in] PCWSTR DriverStoreLocation,
[out] PWSTR ReturnBuffer,
[in] DWORD ReturnBufferSize,
[out, optional] PDWORD RequiredSize
);
Parameters
[in] DriverStoreLocation
A pointer to a NULL-terminated string that contains the fully qualified file name (directory path and file name) of an INF file in the driver store. Alternatively, this parameter is a pointer to a NULL-terminated string that contains the name, and optionally the full directory path, of an INF file in the system INF file directory. For more information about how to specify the INF file, see the following Remarks section.
[out] ReturnBuffer
A pointer to the buffer in which SetupGetInfPublishedName returns a NULL-terminated string that contains the fully qualified file name of the specified INF file in the system INF directory. The maximum path size is MAX_PATH. This pointer can be set to NULL. For information about how to determine the required size of the return buffer, see the following Remarks section.
[in] ReturnBufferSize
The size, in characters, of the buffer supplied by ReturnBuffer.
[out, optional] RequiredSize
A pointer to a DWORD-typed variable that receives the size, in characters, of the ReturnBuffer buffer. This parameter is optional and can be set to NULL.
Return value
If SetupGetInfPublishedName succeeds, the function returns TRUE; otherwise, the function returns FALSE. To obtain extended error information, call GetLastError.
If the size, in characters, of the fully qualified file name of the requested INF file, including a null-terminator, is greater than ReturnBufferSize, the function will fail, and a call to GetLastError will return ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER.
Remarks
To determine the size of the return buffer that is required to contain the fully qualified file name of the specified INF file in the system INF directory, call SetupGetInfPublishedName and set ReturnBuffer to NULL, ReturnBufferSize to zero, and supply RequiredSize. SetupGetInfPublishedName will return the required buffer size in RequiredSize.
When device installation preinstalls a driver package in the driver store, it creates two copies of the driver package INF file. Device installation adds one copy to the system INF directory and assigns that copy of the INF file a unique published file name of the form OEMnnn.inf. Device installation adds a second copy of the INF file to the driver store and assigns that copy the original INF file name.
SetupGetInfPublishedName returns the fully qualified file name of the INF file in the system INF file directory that matches the INF file, if any, that is supplied by DriverStoreLocation. DriverStoreLocation must specify the fully qualified file name of an INF file in the driver store or must specify the file name, and optionally the directory path, of an INF file in the system INF directory. For example, assume that the INF file for a driver package is myinf.inf, and that for this driver package, device installation installs the INF file OEM1.inf in the system INF directory C:\Windows\inf. Further assume that device installation installs the corresponding INF file copy C:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\myinf_12345678\myinf.inf in the driver store. In this case, the function returns C:\Windows\inf\OEM1.inf if DriverStoreLocation supplies one of the following strings: C:\windows\system32\driverstore\filerepository\myinf_12345678\myinf.inf, OEM1.inf, or C:\Windows\inf\OEM1.inf.
Call the SetupGetInfDriverStoreLocation function to retrieve the fully qualified file name of an INF file in the driver store that corresponds to a specified INF file in the system INF file directory or a specified file in the driver store.
Note
The setupapi.h header defines SetupGetInfPublishedName as an alias that automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that is not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
