Sample ipm_driver.cfg file

ProductName
The name of the product to be updated.
Platform
The operating system of the product.
Current Version
The version number of the base product.
local-registry-version-key
The registry key of the product.
local-registry-version_value
The registry key value of the product.
install-new-cmdline
Install the update as a new installation of the product.
install-update-cmdline
Install the update as a product patch. The product remains installed.
install-repair-cmdline
Install the update using the repair process. The product remains installed but the core files and registry files are reinstalled too.
ProductAvailable
Specifies if the update is available or not for client systems. Can be specified globally or in a specific filter. The filter section take priority over the global section.
FilterIP
Specifies the IP addresses or ranges of IP addresses selected for the update.

* matches zero or more allowed characters.

? matches any allowed character exactly one time.

When using * or ? globs the IP address strings are compared literally.

For example IPv6 address fc00::100 matches filter fc00::1* but not the filter fc00::01*. Since the operating system never returns an IPv6 address in the format fc00::0100, but fc00::100, the filter fc00::01* never matches.

Example:

1\.2\.3\.4;1\.2\.3\.*;1\.2\.3\.1*;1\.2\.3\.1*1;1\.2\.3\.?;1\.2\.3\.1?;
1\.2\.3\.1?1;1\.2\.3\.4/32;1\.2\.3\.4/24;1\.2\.3\.0/255\.255\.255\.0;
fc00::100;fc00::*;fc00::1*;fc00::1*1;fc00::?;fc00::1?;
fc00::1?1;fc00::100/64
