Hi, I am having some trouble updating UMDF drivers using "devcon" during a standard code-deploy-debug cycle. The problem is that "devcon update" isn't really updating anything unless the version number or the date of the DLL file and the INF file has changed from what is stored in the system's driver cache folder. After a maddeni...
