SetupSetFileQueueAlternatePlatformA function (setupapi.h)
[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 SetupSetFileQueueAlternatePlatform function associates the file queue with a target platform that is different from the platform running the function. This is done to enable for non-native signature verification.
Syntax
WINSETUPAPI BOOL SetupSetFileQueueAlternatePlatformA(
[in] HSPFILEQ QueueHandle,
[in] PSP_ALTPLATFORM_INFO AlternatePlatformInfo,
[in] PCSTR AlternateDefaultCatalogFile
);
Parameters
[in] QueueHandle
Handle to an open setup file queue.
[in] AlternatePlatformInfo
Optional pointer to an SP_ALTPLATFORM_INFO structure passing information about the alternate platform. On Windows 2000, the cbSize member of this structure must be set to sizeof(SP_ALTPLATFORM_INFO_V1). On Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, the cbSize member of this structure must be set to sizeof(SP_ALTPLATFORM_INFO_V2).
[in] AlternateDefaultCatalogFile
Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies a catalog that validates any INF files. This parameter may be NULL.
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
Note
The setupapi.h header defines SetupSetFileQueueAlternatePlatform 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. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
