Have you looked at the mirror sample?

I think ChangeDisplaySettings and ChangeDisplaySettingsEx can be used only
when driver is loaded (mirror.sys) at boot time, and this can only happen
when we have installed the mirror driver using a given .inf file through Add
Legacy Device from device manager. Now I want to install this without device
manager's command. I just wanted to install it automatically so that
Mirror.exe can use the installed driver.
using DPinst.exe i am only able to put the package into driver store. so i
need to install it again from device manger.
Is this mirror driver a pnp or nonpnp?
Only pnp device drivers can be installed using "DifxDriverPackageInstall"?
Is there anything wrong with my .inf as given bellow (this is taked as it is
from microsoft's sample):

You can't do it silently. Imagine what a security risk that would be.

Anything device manager can do, can also be done with devcon, and the
devcon source will show you how to do it in your own application.

GDI drivers are not PnP.

to install mirror display driver using it. and i didn't get any help for this
on net.

After running DevCon it says DevCon failed, But in device manager i can see a
unknown device is installed but need to update/reinstall the driver. on
reboot windows ask for driver but it does not use my one. I just need to go
in device manager and update the driver.
