Thanks Maxim, Gary and Paul.
Sorry if my question wasn’t clear nor complete.
The driver we are writting is a very little driver, which, basically do=
es
nothing, except answer to DeviceIoControl. It doesn’t control any
hardware. In fact, it is much more a Service than a driver, but we nee=
ded
some Kernel functionnalities (paged and non-paged memory, etc) that are=
not
available through services (as far as there are services in 98…), an=
d
trying to design it in a way that it is almost invisible to application=
s
(working in conjonction with a stub DLL that maps calls from user-mode =
to
kernel-mode through DeviceIoControl). Some kind of BlackBox, if you kn=
ow
what I mean.
Developping and testing a “so basic” driver, we figured out that we can=
have a binary compatible driver, for all platforms, from 98/ME to NT an=
d
2k.
When I said it was a WDM driver, I probably mislead everyone.
Now, the driver is working for all those platforms (with the same .SYS=
file) , but, for some reason, I need to know the OS version. And the mo=
st
important thing, is that it MUST remain binary compatible.
Hope it is clearer (sorry, I forgot to say that I’m formerly a French
Canadian…I sometimes have troubles in english comprehension…).
So, if IoIsWDMVersionAvailable is not available in all those platforms,=
is
there a way I can find it, with the registry, for example?
Thanks a lot,

But you’ve asked about something for WDM drived, haven’t you ?
And my question to you is:
Is NT a WDM platform ?

Yes, but is it available under NT 4.0? I don’t think so…

IoIsWDMVersionAvailable can help.

Hi,
Maybe a simple question, but…
How can a WDM driver can simply know which OS version is currently runn=
ing?
RtlGetVersion doesn’t exist on 9x platforms… It was introduced with=
XP.
