ipnew IM driver install on 98

NTDEV
1

Hi all,
Thanks for replies to questions posted before. Your help is highly
appreciated.

Requirement: A 98 Intermediate driver installation on Windows 98 SE.

We are still stuck on the 98 driver installation:

  1. The ipnew example seems to be the basic building block for installing
    the driver. How do I build this sample? What are the tools and build
    environments required? Is it enough to load the basic driver (without
    having later notifications when bindings change, as in myndi) at least for
    a demo for now?
    What we have is only the 32 bit environment. Building is not
    successful because it is looking for 16 bit include files-all of which we
    do not have as part of 98/NT/2k/XP ddks.
    Is there any alternate way of installing the driver for 98. Any
    samples would be very helpful. Are 16 bit source files necessarily
    required or can we get around it somehow.

  2. We are unable to lay our hands on the 16-bit ddks that you said we will
    need. (Platform Archive CD #3 labeled 16-bit DDKs) Even the msdn support
    site does not return search results for the same. From where can we
    acquire this? We do have an msdn support agreement.

Thanks in advance,
Sathish

Hi,

To install the Win98 Intermediate driver programatically, you need to
use the DI Class installer calls.
To build the sample you require VC++ 1.52

Hi Santhosh,
Thanks for the reply. VC++ 1.52 seems unavailable right now. (Would you
be able to tell me where to acquire it from?)

Would you also have any links to further informaiton/examples/tutorial on
using the Di calls to install the intermediate driver?

I am looking for alternate ways to build the driver installer. I got the
16 bit compiler (Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 8.00x) as
a part of the “winddk\2600\bin\win_me\bin16”. Trying to build my own code
with a couple of ‘Di’ functions gives a lot of errors (C2143 C2061 C2059
C2061 C2061 etc). I have set the path to include 16 bit header files
(98DDK\inc\win98\inc16). FYI, right now one of the places the build gives
errors is in the file 98DDK\inc\win98\inc16\prsht.h at line 45. Here
there is a FAR typedef declaration.

Thanks and regards
Sathish
