If one wishes to employ an online submission for help, it is impossible to
find out what PID is required for the Windows DDK. If you try to find one
for the Windows NT DDK, you get a circular link back to the beginning of the
submission process.
Bottom line, what is the PID for the Windows DDK or were do I find the PID
for my installation?
BTW, it will not accept the MSDN PID nor your subscription ID.

Posting to one of the public forums is usually better.

Better than what, deafening silence?
Watch my thread on microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev and see how
many responses it garners to better understand what I am saying.
When it comes to bus driver development, MS and their DDK is woefully
lacking in any documentation or robust samples. Take that a step further
and make the bus a virtual bus, such as multiport serial communications over
IP, and there is even less.
I have found that MS appears to have great difficulty envisioning more than
one of any kind of device in a system (although they are getting better).
Expanding the concept to be devices which are not on any physical
(hardware) bus and you find yourself counting on one hand the number of
people at MS who can answer your questions.
I’ve opted to post here because I’ve seen the DDK team post responses and
thus am aware that they do monitor this list.
I do not think you could create an incident using the web interface. It was only there for special high paying customers (TechNet?). If you are just a normal MSDN developer, you must create a support incident using the telephone after which you *may* be able to view the incident online (this used to work, but may not anymore). Also, you must call up to link up your MSDN account with a support contract number before doing either.
Try nntp://microsoft.public.development.device.drivers instead. Eliyas Yakub is usually very good at answering virtual bus questions.

I’ve tried to post to that group and it apparently has not accepted any
posts since 8/26.

Wrong, you apparently are not current with the support options MS is
providing. Go to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/resources/support.asp
and you will see that on-line submission is available at a per incident fee
of $195, after you use up the free incidents packaged with youe MSDN
subscription.

Nope, it’s still going. Try doing a reset on your end. I had the same
problem where I stopped receiving anything (I think the same time you
stated).

I know it says it is available and lets you go through most of the web pages entering information, but it eventually stopped for me back in April. The telephone support said it was only for large corporations that were part of some special support program. If that is not the case now, then great.

Well, isn’t that why we have THIS list? I can’t remember the last time we
had an intelligent question on this list that went unanswered.
By the way, it’s not only the Microsoft “ddk team” who answers questions on
this list… it’s also several of the Windows core devs… like the guy who
wrote the I/O Manager, the HAL, SCSIport, etc. (don’t ask me to rat-out
who’s who, though!)
It’s true that a number of these folks (and others!) answer questions on the
ms DDK forums as well.

From the %DDKRoot%\bin directory, run pidview.exe - the pop up box will give
the DDK PID.
