When I try to install a driver I get:
There is no driver selected for the device information set or element.
I have tried to install the driver with
pnputil.exe -i -a <driver-path-inf>
This results in:
Failed to install the driver on any of the devices on the system : No more data is available.
How can I diagnose what is happening when it tries to install the driver?
I was unable to get much deeper in figuring out the problem. In the end I restored a backup and reinstalled (this time installing with pnputil before connecting the device). This resolved the issue -- but doesn't really answer the question.
