Windows Update for Device Drivers

The Windows Update for Device Drivers component provides drivers from Windows Update to the Device Manager wizards, including the Add Printer wizard and the Add New Hardware wizard. This component provides a layer of API elements that isolate the intricacies of working with the Windows Update service and offer an easy way to implement driver installations and updates.

This component includes a single dynamic-link library (DLL) named cdm.dll, which is loaded by Device Manager, the Add Printer wizard, and the Add New Hardware wizard. This DLL depends on the Windows Update Agent for SUS 1.0 Servers component for much of its functionality.
