Virtual Device Is Removed During a Driver Update

Title

Summary

If a driver is updated in a minor upgrade, the virtual device driver is removed after the upgrade occurs.

Synopsis

If a driver is updated in a minor upgrade, the virtual device driver is removed after the upgrade occurs.

Discussion

This issue occurs due to the nature of how DIFx installs and registers device drivers. Since a minor upgrade works by replacing the files that needed to be updated instead of removing and unregistering the previous version, a major upgrade is required to correctly handle the scenario where a device driver needs to be upgraded.
