Check out the create process FAQ by ShellExecute API function..

If there is a setup.exe, just run it fine.
If there is ONLY xxx.inf, you need to make the Command line call:

C:\WINDOWS\rundll.exe setupx.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %1

(Where %1 is the inf file name, lpszParams is the bold part..)

* Partical code of ShellExecute VCX class

declare long ShellExecute in "shell32.dll" long hwnd, string lpszOp, ;
                    string lpszFile, string lpszParams, ;
                    string lpszDir, long nShowCmd

declare long GetDesktopWindow in "win32api" 

local hDCScreen
 
hDCScreen = GetDesktopWindow()

this.Value = ShellExecute( hDCScreen, ;
                           this.mcOperation, ;
                           this.mcDocApp, ;
                           this.mcParameters, ;
                           this.mcDefaultDir, ;
                           this.mnShowCommand )

Note: Only exe file allow passing Parameters in ShellExecute, Other extension fail to do.

Anyway, this is partical self-installation, user need to fill in detail to complete the installation.....

If you really want the installation is completely Done by coding,
You need to take a look sleep, mouse_event and keyboard_event API call,
which can simulate all user key-in, mouse-in action to do install.

But, the chance to generate error is very high,
such as user also key-in within the simulation of keyboard events.
Therefore, it is NOT recommended.
