promptIfDriverIsNotBetter XML Element

[DIFx is deprecated, for more info, see DIFx Guidelines.]

The promptIfDriverIsNotBetter XML element is an empty element that sets the promptIfDriverIsNotBetter flag to ON, which configures DPInst to display a dialog box if a new driver is not a better match to a device than a driver that is currently installed on the device. The dialog box informs a user of this situation and provides an option to replace the driver that is currently installed on the device with the new driver.
