Carl,

I dont have specific solution to your problem, however - in similar
circumstances, I had used Debug-Output " " in the OEMSETUP.INF file. It
is fairly easy to use. Just search for Debug-Output in the file. You can
put your own Debug messages in the file and see actually what goes on.

This way you can get deeper understanding (that is if you are interested)
of the install process too.

The outputs appear on the "host" machine.

There are already some debug messages in the standard oemsetup.inf file
in the IMSAMP sample. Their output at the time of installation of your
driver can also give you clues about what is happening.
