how to retrive device driver's inf files.
Happy New Year Guys!
My task: to retrieve a list of all device drivers on the system.
Required details: List of device drivers should contain, driver name,manufacturer name, valid inf file path(eg SYSTEM32/driverstore/foo.inf).
To accomplish the above task, I used the Win32_PnpEntity[WMI] class. However, to my surprise, the Win32_PnpEntity class does not provide an inf file path. To that end, I am asking if there are other ways to accomplish my above task fufilling the required details.
Many Thanks.

You must use an NNTP server of course... (provider one, free ones like news.motzarella.org, etc)
