Just to be clear, by ‘SP1 Hotfix,’ you just mean ‘SP1?’ I can’t think
of any other meaning, but with the way that msft names things, pretty
much anything is possible.
I believe that the answer is that there is an ISO of the CHK build of
Vista SP1 (that is, Vista with SP1 already merged), but no actual CHK
build of the service pack that one would apply to an existing system.
It might be possible to use the ISO to update your existing system; it
might not. I really don’t know, and when it comes to CHK builds of
anything, all bets are pretty much off, especially regarding installation.
I can see why you tried it, but I would personally never use anything in
that WDK folder, unless you’re just looking to experiment. I haven’t
tried in a while, but back in the DDK days, I never got the loader in
that folder to work, despite all documentation to the contrary. I can’t
believe that you even got as far as it running but doing strange things.
Although you didn’t mention it, I assume that you installed the
matching hal as well.
I think what I’ve said is correct, but connect is already such an utter
wasteland of random files, many of which are duplicates of others, most
of which have names that mean squat - things like ‘sp2 rc escrow rollup
wave 1’ (or thereabouts) v. ‘sp2 rc escrow rollup wave2’ - to almost
everyone, so you might take a look around the various programs on
‘connect,’ and find it there.
Good luck,

Hi,
I did a bit of searching and I couldn’t find anything on this. Does Microsoft provide CHK versions of kernels / other modules provided via hotfix?
I tried to install the CHK version of the kernel that comes with the
6001 DDK but this is the RTM version of the kernel.
A fully patched Vista SP1 system is using a kernel built last September.
The RTM kernel makes the system do funny things which is not surprising
- I assume there is a mismatch somewhere.
Anyway, it’s no big deal but it would be nice to be able to test with the CHK kernel.
Thanks
