Driver Build for Multi-OS

OSR_Community_User · October 24, 2007, 10:22pm

Hello Everyone:

WDK provides different build env for XP/VISTA etc, which are recommended for
different OS driver building. But this caused more than one binary driver
files for different OS even if the source codes are exactly the same. As my
experience, my device driver built by VISTA build env could work well on XP
OS and could pass XP DTM test as well. I wonder if this is recommended to
use VISTA build env to build driver for both VISTA and XP for Windows Sign?

You should build for the LOWEST release number you intend to support. So if
you want one driver for XP and Vista, build for XP.
