I try to integrate VC Express 2008 with WDK and the problem is that
lib.exe has been removed from WDK. Does anyone know why?

Try “link -lib”

You are aware that the WDK uses its own toolchain and does not use VS,
right? So what exactly do you mean by ‘integrate VC Express 2008 with WDK’,
and what are you trying to accomplish?

I know that wdk is meant to be used as a standalone and integrate with the
sources file. However our source tree does not respect completely the
rules and planned changes have lower priority.
There’s a heavy investment in vcproj files and some of them even link to
the ddk libraries but compile with the vc compiler - a big no no. I am
trying to see how easy or hard it would be to use VCExpress so that we can
postpone the sources file required arrangements. What we get with
VCExpress is code browsing and integration with the latest build
environments similar to /useenv.

Ok - that makes sense. VS is a fine code editor/browser. Revising driver
projects out of VS and into standard WDK sources based projects is a fairly
simple activity. VS can still be used as the front end ide for that - using
a bat file to invoke build as in ddkbuild.bat (
http://www.hollistech.com/Resources/ddkbuild/ddkbuild.htm) or you can even
use OSR’s version of my script, or even write your own.
Mixing ddk libraries/headers and VS libraries/headers is in the category of
*Real Bad Idea*. I separate VS projects and WDK projects and avoid all cross
toolchain contamination. Where this becomes impossible I use my own headers
and libraries to control the interface, and build those libraries with the
WDK.
