error 0x800f0203 when trying to install IM driver

[Noam Koren]

Hello,

When I try to install the passthru IM driver using snetcfg.exe on a clean XP
machine I get the following:

snetcfg -v -l .\netsf.inf -c s -i passthru
trying to install 'passthru'
...\netsf.inf was copied to f:\windows\inf\oem0.inf
..\failed. Error code: 0x800F0203

debugging snetcfg shows that the error code is returned after the following
call

hr = pncClassSetup->Install(szComponentId,
&OboToken,
NSF_POSTSYSINSTALL,
0, // <upgrade-from-build-num>
NULL, // answerfile name
NULL, // answerfile section name
&pncc);

Does anyone know what this error code means?
Where can I find this information?

Thanks in advance,
Noam Koren

The lower digits of the error code should be a Win32 error, you can decode
it using errlook.exe or winerror.h. In you case it is ERROR_ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND
and it should mean: "The system could not find the environment option that
was entered".

'Usage' prescribes to pass a full path, first troubleshooting step is to
pass the full path to your INF.
