DeviceInfo XML Schema
The DeviceInfo XML schema specifies the device's properties, such as device category and model name. On Windows 7 and later versions of Windows, Devices and Printers uses this data to show detailed information about the device.
A device metadata package must contain only one XML document that is formatted based on the DeviceInfo XML schema. The operating system uses the data from this XML document to install the package and reference its contents.
Note The XML document must be saved by using UTF-8 encoding.
