driver file 'DBUtil_2_3.Sys'. If found it will delete them. Default search is ALL
DRIVEs on system.

silent mode ('/s' option).
6. Added option '/l=<absolute dir path>/fileName.txt' for logging. If Logging
option is used, the given directory name should exist, /l option will not create
directory if it doesn't exist. If filename.txt exists then the log will be appended
to the end. If filename.txt doesn't exist then the logfile will be created.
7. Symbolic links for logfile names are not supported. Any symbolic linked
filenames will be deleted and a new logfile will be created.
