Windows. I well understand I should work with NT4DDK, but I am not sure
which version SDK is sutable for my purpose.

Could anyone give me adivice?

Thank you,
Hideyuki Inamasu.

The current Windows 2003 SDK can build applications that are compatible with
NT4 and even NT3.51 so you should be alright with using it. If I recall
correctly, you may get an error message from the sdk startup shell script
when you start the NT4 ddk with a windows 2000 or later sdk installed. I
believe you can ignore this.

Hi, Mark. Thank you very much for your adivce and I understand I can work
with latest SDK and NT4DDK.

As you pointed out, why I asked this question is, when I invoke
<ddk_install_place>\bin\setup.bat and it tells me error and I took a look at
setup.bat and found that setup.bat expects paticular SDK’s setup procedure
which is not supported in SDK I am using (WXP SP2 SDK).

Now I am sure I can ignore such error with your advice.

Again, thank you very much for your advice and I really appriciate your
advice.

Thank you,
Hideyuki Inamasu.
