Remarks

Class qualifiers for this class include:

  • Secured

  • Icon("Package.ico")

For more information about both the class qualifiers and the property qualifiers included in the Properties section, see Configuration Manager Class and Property Qualifiers.

Your application uses this class to create a driver package that contains the content for one or more device drivers. When the application adds a new driver, the content is added to the driver package share. The driver package can then be copied to a distribution point so that computers can install the drivers. For more information, see How to Create a Driver Package for a Windows Driver in Configuration Manager.
