Heh, easier said than done. If it's the same error I think it is, the error message is exactly, "The system cannot find the specified file." With most of the setupAPI errors you aren't given nice debuggable prompts, which is why the setupAPI logging exists - the drivers are being loaded in an internal procedure, you're just not told what the specific calls are that are being made. Many times if a device's Windows devnode is pointing to a specific driver location, and that location changes (because it's uninstalled, etc...) without the devnode being deleted or updated, the setupAPI becomes quite confused. Even when you know what you're doing it's not always clear how to solve the problem!
