Return Value
DriverPath
encapsulates most of the detail settings that must be overridden to
install out-of-box device drivers. However, there may be situations
in which applications may want to access detail setting
information, such as retrieving definitions (metadata) of those
settings. Applications can call this method to obtain the path of
the root setting and then work with
AnswerFileSettingOverride and
SettingDefinition objects. It is possible to use the returned
setting path and instances of
AnswerFileSettingOverride
representing each setting override beneath directly to override
settings required for out-of-box device driver installation. Doing
this requires detailed knowledge of the components and settings. It
is recommended that you use the interfaces in this class as much as
possible.
