Device Driver Information Panel

In the Device Driver Information panel, you can view the device driver type that is specified in your .inf file, and optionally select any of the following runtime options:

Always overwrite any existing device driver

Replace any existing driver for the device with this driver. If this check box is cleared and a driver already exists for the device, your driver is not installed.

Do not show Connect Device to Computer dialog

To prevent the Connect Device to Computer dialog from being displayed during the installation of a device driver if a device matching the driver is not connected to a computer, select this option.

Do not create Add or Remove Programs entry for device driver

If you select this check box, the installation does not create an Add or Remove Programs entry for the device driver. If you clear this check box, the installation does create an Add or Remove Programs entry.

DIFxApp does not support this feature on Windows Vista and later.

Install unsigned driver files and drivers with missing files

By default, DIFxApp does not install unsigned driver packages or driver packages that have missing files. To override this default behavior, select this check box. Selecting this check box enables you to fully test drivers more easily before shipping final signed versions.

Remove binary files associated with driver during uninstall

By default, when DIFxApp uninstalls a driver package, DIFxApp does not remove the binary files that were copied to the system when it installed the driver. To override this default behavior, select this check box.

If you select this check box, DIFxApp removes a binary file from the system only if the binary file is identical to the corresponding binary file in the driver store.

Caution:Select the Remove binary files associated with driver during uninstall check box only if you can verify that the driver’s binary files are not required by any other driver package or application.
