Setupapi.dll is not perfect at the moment.
That's normal it first tries to find files specified in .inf file in the
same directory as the .inf file (here, C:\ReactOS\inf).

If the file is not found, setupapi is calling the default callback routine
in SetupDefaultQueueCallbackA/W, with notification ==
SPFILENOTIFY_COPYERROR.
At the moment, the default callback routine only logs the error and tell to
skip the missing file (see lib/setupapi/queue.c:1375-1378 and
lib/setupapi/queue.c:1440-1443). Instead of this, it would be good to ask
the user where to find the file, and so he may provide a cdrom or another
location for the file. Acceptable return values for this function are
FILEOP_ABORT, FILEOP_NEWPATH and FILEOP_SKIP.
Feel free to implement it if you want.
