fltkd, Vista WDK and Windbg

I was debugging a mini-filter I am building with the Vista WDK this morning,
and realized I should be useing !fltkd, unfortumately I keep getting the
following message, and a number of commands fail.

“*** Extension DLL(5278 Free) does not match target system(2600 Free)”

Can somebody shed light on this?

The message is mainly a legacy thing. In the old days extensions had to
match the system they were debugging and so they did version checks.
Nowadays such tying is discouraged and extensions are supposed to
automatically adapt to the target. The version checking hasn’t been
entirely cleaned out, so sometimes you get messages even when they don’t
matter.

However, if commands are failing it’s possible there’s still a version
dependency. What exact commands are failing and with what errors?

Drew,

!fltkd.ctx in particular is failing, it just comes back with:

*** Extension DLL(5278 Free) does not match target system(2600 Free)

ctx [addr] [detail] Dump CONTEXT_NODE

Just to be clear, you’re specifying a CONTEXT_NODE address, correct?
