Remarks

By default, DPInst installs only signed driver packages and driver packages that do not have missing files. To configure DPInst to accept unsigned driver packages or driver packages that have missing files, set the legacyMode flag to ON by including an legacyMode element as a child element of a dpinst XML element or by using the /lm command-line switch.

The following code example demonstrates a legacyMode element.

<dpinst>
  ...
  <legacyMode/>
  ...
</dpinst>
