Modify registry field with rundll32.exe

Hello all.
Have some strange problem with win2k registry.
Have to change value of some field in registry with a script.
There i use:
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 "c:\myFile.inf"
And it doesnt work. I get the "installation failed" pop up window.
When i`m trying to install myFile.inf with "mouse right click->install" it change appropriate registry fields with no problem...

Can anybody help me please?

Please do not double post. The moderators will delete your other post identical to this one. Only reply to this...

rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 "c:\myFile.inf"
Two things you might want to try. setupapi is not defined. Is it a DLL? You must add the extension. Also, you need to drop the quotes around the path to the INF file.
