FOR FAQ: RE: Basic Question about Windows 2003 driver

Starting with the XP release of the DDK, the DDK compilation toolset is
self contained. There is no longer a need to separately install any release
of the Microsoft compilation tools or the Windows Platform SDK.

Hi,

For building the driver for Windows 2003, do I need to
install Visual Studio .Net to get the latest compiler or
Visual Studio 6.0 is ok ? And which version of platform SDK I
need to install ?

Thanks

You don’t need to install a compiler for Win2k3 the DDK now has the
compiler integrated. You should only use the DDK compiler.

You can use any editor you want - be it from VC6 or VC.NET.

The driver is built using DDK environment, which includes the compiler, and is
debugged using WinDbg or SoftICE.
