Use "install", not "Install".  Notice the lowercase "i".  Also, try passing
"d:\\test" as the lpDirectory parameter.

Also, what is the actual return value of ShellExecute()?  If <= 32, then an
error is occuring.

No.  "DiskID1" is merely a string variable that the .inf itself is
specifying in its "[Strings]" section, and has nothing to do with the actual
source directory to begin with.  If you read up on INF documentation, you
will find that the particular placement of %DiskID1% in the
"[SourceDiskNames.x86]" section is merely a display string that is shown if
a "file not found" dialog is shown to the user.

The way your .inf file is set up, all of the source files are in the same
folder as the .inf itself.
