I have a question about WDF version update. Can old version WDF run in new OS, such as WdfCoinstaller01007 in WIN8? if it can’t, how to fix the driver to let it support old OS and new OS?
The normal way with KMDF is to:
a) develop to the newest framework
b) contain the framework’s package together with the driver
c) the WDF coinstaller executed during your driver’s install will update the machine’s KMDF binaries to newer ones if they are too old.

Older co installers will do nothing when run on a new os that contains a newer version. You can continue to reference the old coinstaller on win8 and it will work

But when I use old co installers, the WHQL test will install the driver, and I found information in setupdev.log:“WdfCoInstaller01007.dll There is no driver selected for the device information set or element”, And then it cause failed.So how can I do, and fix this quesetion.
It has nothing to do with versioning, something in your inf is not correct
