### Improvements

If package installation fails, the content of the standard log is uploaded to the CapaInstaller console.

With access to standard/debug information it's a lot easier to troubleshoot failed packages when endpoints are offline or otherwise inaccessible.

The PreDriverCopyScript is updated with integration to the CapaDriversLib.

The contents of the CapaFactoryLib has been merged into the CapaDriversLib.
