Hi,

from what I gathered, the two following functions:

UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices and SetupCopyOEMInf

are not supported on Windows 98.

I am writing a device installation app and I'd like to know
how I can deal with it on 98?

Preinstalling the drivers on a computer with no previous
version of them would not be an absolute requirement: I can
have the users install them manually when the device is first
plugged in. But upgrading the drivers if necessary is an
absolute *must*. And I have no clue how to do that programmatically
on Windows 98. Any idea? I don't want to have to let the users
upgrade the drivers manually: that would be too much of a hassle.

Just to make things more precise, the device is an USB device:
which means it can be plugged in when the installation occurs, or
it can be unplugged... what I have written so far is fine on
Windows 2000/XP/2003 (Me? not sure yet...).
