The scanHardware XML element is an empty element that sets the scanHardware flag to ON. Setting this flag to ON configures DPInst to install a driver package for a Plug and Play (PnP) function driver only if the driver package matches a device that is configured in a computer and the driver package is a better match for the device than the driver package that is currently installed on the device.
