Is there a particular reason you were doing this via the DHCP client and not just using functions provided by iphlpapi?
I couldn't find iphlpapi functions to do this. But even if they're there, iphlpapi will need to inform the DHCP client about the change to static IP address (basically telling the DHCP client to shut up and go to sleep).
I was thinking along the lines of stopping the DHCP service and calling AddIPAddress, which should be the same as inserting the address manually in the registry. I haven't looked into this though, so might not work.
(stopping the service would need a temporary hack, as it's not been converted to an NT service yet, plus we don't have StartService to restart it)
