detect if driver is already installed

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I have a driver, simple .inf.
I 'install' it, wit SetupCopyOEMInf().

At this stage, the driver is not yet fully installed, until after device is
attached to the PC and windows (XP) detects the device and maps the right
drivers for it.

I wish to programmatically detect if drivers are already fully installed
(mapped to device).

What's the most reliable way?
I'm guessing I need to enumerate all devices and find for one that has the
correct Device ID?

Any easier way? Any sample code?

Thanks!

Lisa
