The test suite is your friend.  Off the top of my head, I don't know
if the setupapi device installation API requires an actual device or
not, but regardless, tests are possible.  The SetupDi.*Get.* APIs can
be tested using regmon.  You call the function in question then look
at the regmon results to see what registry keys were queried.  With
this method, you then know the format of the registry entries.  This
is how most of the msi tests concerning the registry were written.
Check out dlls/msi/tests/msi.c,source.c.  It's tedious but accurate.
