Hello,
I was just getting started with the IFS kit and wanted some help with
the sample minifilter drivers. How do I compile and run the minispy
sample which has come with the kit?
I could not find any pointers to setting up the debug environment in
the help files included.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
Just navigate to Windows ifs kit and ddk from the start menu and in build
enviroments select Windows XP build environment.There you will see checked
or free build environment.Click one.It will open a command console with all
the necessary environment variables set to be able to compile and link
drivers. Go to the folder of the minispy project and run build.exe to
generate the driver and the user program.Take a look at mspyuser.c to see
the switchs you have available.You’d better test this utility on Windows XP
SP2 because it depends on the filter manager and it had not been ready till
that service pack .You shouldn’t have any problem using this utility.
Hope this helps.
Ken,

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the tip. I have been able to build the minispy.sys and
minispy.exe files. But as you mentioned about the switches in
mspyuser.c, I could not locate the right combination to get it
running.
It seems like its looking for some service to be running, but I dont
know what do I need to start before running this.
Thanks, indeed, for your help in this.

Hi Ron,
Maybe "man fltmgr --use_the_source_luke" could be helpful here ;).
Anyway Reading The Fantastic Manual is a good choice too.

Ken,
To get things up and going.
Some of this might have changed as I am at home at the moment and have
an older version of the IFS Kit on my home machine but, it should get
you going.

Ben,
I’m trying out the steps you have mentioned. Sorry for continuing with
the newbie questions: can you explain how exactly to do the second
step of installing the driver by right-click. Couldn’t exactly follow
that.
thanks,

Hi Ben,
I’ve got most of the stuff working, thanks to the steps you’ve given below.
I just had one more doubt:
Is the ‘fltmc load minispy’ command only supposed to work on those
systems on which the IFS kit has been installed, or after it has been
compiled it can be made to work on any windows system?
I have, finally, dived into the code to get most of my answers 
but
could not find the steps you’ve mentioned in any manual or webpage. Is
there more info on the minispy given anywhere? Thanks for it anyways.
