64-bit XP RC1 build 1289 vs. 1218

NTDEV

Hello,
my devicedriver does not install on build 1289. The .inf files is not
recognized any longer.
So what changed in the .inf layout from 1218 to 1289?

Microsoft tells:
“Select Device. The specified location does not contain a compatible
software driver for your device. If the location contains a driver, make
sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems.”

Thanks in advance,
Uwe

are you using the .amd64 directives to distinguish the 64 bit drivers from
32 bit drivers. check out
