SetupDiCallClassInstaller getting error 0xE000023B on DIF_REMOVE

My code uninstalls an NDIS driver with
SetupDiCallClassInstaller(DIF_REMOVE,..), much as in the DDK example. On
Windows 2003 Server, I get an error 0xE000023B, and can't figure out what
this means. The nearest error I could find was STATUS_CONNECTION_ACTIVE
(0xC000023B), but that doesn't seem to make sense-- I tried disabling my
driver and still get the same error.
The same code works fine on Windows 2000 and XP.

Anyone know what this error means or what might be causing it?

Can you try removing your device using devcon.exe on Server and see if that
gives the same error?

Eliyas,

Good point. I tried devcon remove with the instanceid and it seems to have
worked. Now I guess I need to figure out what I'm doing differently from
devcon.

Thanks,

Wes

Eliyas,

I compared my code line for line with the devcon source code that I have,
and it matches except that I split the if (!SetupDiSetClassInstallParams() ||
!SetupDiCallClassInstaller() into two statements, so I could see the
individual results. Everything seems to be the same up through the
SetupDiCallClassInstaller() call. I added logging to the devcon source for
comparison.
Do you know what the return code 0xE000023B means (from GetLastError())?
