Displaylink Core Software vs Graphics Driver

Hello,

I'm a new user on here but i have been using Displaylink software to drive our conference room solutions for around three months now.

We initially did a deployment of the Displaylink core software to ~3100 machines and it was successful. The 'Displaylink USB Graphics Software for Windows 8.1M0' installer was used.

Here's where it gets interesting - that same installer when used on some machines in our environment installs the 'Displaylink Graphics Driver' instead of 'Displaylink Core Software' in Add & Remove Programs.

I would assume the graphics driver is a component that is also included on the machines with the Displaylink Core software install, but why is it not installing the full software?

FYI this is all Windows 10 x64 1607
