I could also use SetupCopyOEMInfFile() but I think I read that
DriverPackageInstall/ DriverPackagePreInstall() do not make entries in Add /
Remove Programs. Not sure if SetupCopyOEMInfFile() does that. Also, is
SetupCopyOEMInfFile() deprecated?

No Add/Remove entries are added, am not aware it is deprecated.
