How to install/uninstall an inf driver?

[yxq]

Hello,
I want to install/uninstall a driver(only inf file), this inf file does not
support right-click to install in explorer, it can only be installed from
Control Panel/Add Remove hardware.
Can anyone tell me how to install/uninstall in VB.NET?

Regards
Steven

Take a look at the Driver Package Installer:

Driver Package Installer (DPInst)

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790308.aspx

You can configure it to run silently and check the results.

DPInst Command-Line Switches

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790806.aspx

DPInst Return Code

Thank you, but i do not want to use DPInst, only want to use the API
function, can you tell which API use?
