I'm quite sure RunPreSetupCommands gets executed before the base INF 
commands. I'm not sure wether there are others (BeginPrompt, BackupReg 
comes to mind). So you need two install functions like adv_install_pre 
and adv_install_post.

Why not simply use the same mechanism as in setupapi [1]? My patch [2] 
back in january was using it, and it looked like a good idea.
