PnP Configuration Manager Functions

This section describes Plug and Play (PNP) Configuration Manager functions, which can be called by class installers, co-installers, and additional installation applications running under the NT-based operating system. These functions are typically used in conjunction with device installation functions. Function prototypes are defined in cfgmgr32.h. Additional definitions are in cfg.h.

If you intend that your device installation application run on Windows® 9x/Me, or Windows NT® 4.0 or earlier, and you use the CM_Xxx functions, be sure that CfgMgr32.lib appears before SetupAPI.lib in the sources file. If your application is intended to run only on Windows 2000 or a later NT-based operating system, you can omit CfgMgr32.lib.
