[This function is available for use in the operating systems indicated in the Requirements section. It may be altered or unavailable in subsequent versions. SetupAPI should no longer be used for installing applications. Instead, use the Windows Installer for developing application installers. SetupAPI continues to be used for installing device drivers.]

The SetupRemoveInstallSectionFromDiskSpaceList function searches an Install section of an INF file for CopyFiles and DelFiles lines, and removes the file operations specified in those sections from a disk-space list.

Syntax

WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupRemoveInstallSectionFromDiskSpaceListW(
  [in] HDSKSPC DiskSpace,
  [in] HINF    InfHandle,
  [in] HINF    LayoutInfHandle,

  [in] PVOID   Reserved1,
  [in] UINT    Reserved2
);

Parameters

Handle to an open INF file that contains the Install section. If LayoutInfHandle is not specified, the INF file must also contain the section specified by SectionName.

Optional handle to the INF file that contains the SourceDisksFiles sections. Otherwise, that section is assumed to exist in the INF file specified by InfHandle.

[in] SectionName

Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the name of the section to be added to the disk-space list.

[in] Reserved1

Must be zero.

[in] Reserved2

Return value

If the function succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function requires a Windows INF file. Some older INF file formats may not be supported.

Note

The setupapi.h header defines SetupRemoveInstallSectionFromDiskSpaceList as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors.
