Remarks

By default, the forceIfDriverIsNotBetter flag is set to OFF. You can set the forceIfDriverIsNotBetter flag to ON by including a forceIfDriverIsNotBetter element as a child element of a dpinst XML element in a DPinst descriptor file or by using the /f command-line switch.

The following code example demonstrates a forceIfDriverIsNotBetter element.
