Hi,
Ask MS for such functions (this function might even exist hidden somewhere).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/community/community/feedback/feedxp/default.aspx
Problem with WaitNoPending is that it will return as soon as there are no more pending drivers initializing or waiting to install.
There are few short gaps during the boot time when this can happen. Idea with loop is to be short (100*10 ms = 1second) and to make
delay during all these gaps when they occur.
Regards,
Slobodan
