The functions to install network components are in NETCFG.DLL. These functions are not documented. A complete network install can be done with these functions including binding review. Note that you still need an inf file with these functions.

Sorry, your boss is not insane, or at least you can easily give him 90% of
what he wants. If someone can give the answer for the for the other 10%
here, I would gladly award him/her 1 (one) atta boy(girl), having zero face
value, and not redeemable anywhere.

The following sample uses information provided in MS Technical artical
Q162771, Dec. 1997

The following batch file (would you believe it...) will first install a NIC
and then a protocol. It will then invoke the control panel so that the user
can complete the final 10% manual work. The manual work includes selecting
the "Bindings" tab and THEN pressing OK. Selecting the binding tab is
required.

This could obviously be implemented as a DLL but makes more sense to be part
of an install script.

I fully and completely acknowledge that this is "Low Tech" and not great
coding
but it works and guides the user most of the way.

The {OPTION} is exactly what you think it is, found in the OEMSETUP.INF
file. One
Registry entry is cleared (using REGEDIT) to "almost force" NCPA to do the
binding process.

If someone can figure out how to force the binding process, this will be
100%
