Driver Verifier Usage

Hi,
I would like to try using Driver Verifier (Win2K DDK/dev. environment),
but because I haven’t done this yet I would mostly appreciate if someone
could give me some quick tips, namely:

  1. May I use Driver Verifier (DV) to test *any* kind of Device Driver
    (e.g. “legacy” kernel-mode device drivers), or is it limited to specific
    driver “flavours” (NDIS, WDM…)?

  2. As I understand it, DV runs from the development machine (where the
    DDK and its tools are); wouldn’t it be correct to test the driver in the
    target machine, instead? Thus, do I a) Copy verifier.exe to the target
    and
    run DV from there or b) Do I have to install my driver in the
    development
    machine :frowning: to test it? This, of course, assumes I would be using DV to
    test “finished”, ready-for-beta-testing drivers (this option seems a bit
    “dangerous”, doesn’t it?..). Hopefully, there will be a c) “I’m totally
    missing the point here” option. :slight_smile:

  3. Finally, the reason why I’m posting the above couple of questions is
    simply because I can’t find the verifier.hlp file (although I’m positive
    the
    DDK is correctly and fully installed, as everything else works fine)…
    :frowning: Ooops.

Thank’s in advance,

Miguel Monteiro
