Installer Output
Installer Return Value
A co-installer can return NO_ERROR, ERROR_DI_POSTPROCESSING_REQUIRED, or a Win32 error code.
If a class installer successfully handles this request and SetupDiCallClassInstaller should subsequently call the default handler, the class installer returns ERROR_DI_DO_DEFAULT.
If the class installer successfully handles this request, including directly calling the default handler, the class installer should return NO_ERROR and SetupDiCallClassInstaller will not subsequently call the default handler again.
Note The class installer can directly call the default handler, but the class installer should never attempt to supersede the operations of the default handler.
For more information about calling the default handler, see Calling Default DIF Code Handlers.
If the class installer encounters an error, the installer should return an appropriate Win32 error code and SetupDiCallClassInstaller will not subsequently call the default handler.

Installer Operation
In response to a DIF_REGISTER_COINSTALLERS request an installer might modify the list of co-installers for the device. For example, an installer might programmatically register or remove a device-specific co-installer for the device that is based on the analysis of the device.
Unless the DI_NOFILECOPY flag is set, an installer that handles this DIF request should copy files that are required for the co-installer(s).
If the DI_NOFILECOPY flag is clear but the DI_NOVCP flag is set, the installer must enqueue any file operations to the supplied file queue but must not commit the queue.
If the installer returns a Win32 error code, Windows stops the installation.
