                The company that signed the driver. The company is derived from the cab signature as part of the publication process.
            
        
        
            
                The company providing the driver. The provider is derived from the submitted INF file as part of the publication process.
            
        
        
            
                The company that manufactured the driver. The manufacturer is derived from the submitted INF file as part of the publication process.

            The metadata for a windows driver. This metadata is used by all the driver applicability rules as well as the driver installation handler.
        
    
    
        
            Checks that the specified update is installed. This rule uses the applicability metadata to perform the check. It returns true if this driver is an equal match as the currently installed driver.
        
        
    
    
        
            Checks that the specified update is superseded. This rule uses the applicability metadata to perform the check. It returns true if this driver is a worse match as the currently installed driver.
        
        
    
    
        
            Checks that the specified update is installable. This rule uses the applicability metadata to perform the check. It returns true if this driver is a better match as the currently installed driver.
