From: Eric Grubbs on 2 Mar 2010 11:46 Is it possible to use one build environment to create one bulk USB driver binary to run on WinXP, Vista and Windows 7 using WDK 7600.16385.0? Or do I need 3 driver binaries per platform (eg x86, amd64)? -- Thanks, Eric
From: Scott Noone on 2 Mar 2010 11:54 You can do it with one driver, just use the build environment of the oldest platform that you want to target (XP in this case). See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa906294.aspx for details on how to dynamically take advantage of the features available on later platforms (if you need or want to, that is). -scott -- Scott Noone Consulting Associate OSR Open Systems Resources, Inc. http://www.osronline.com "Eric Grubbs" <EricGrubbs(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:754F2C4C-E9A5-45CC-89D4-481A48FB2570(a)microsoft.com... > Is it possible to use one build environment to create one bulk USB driver > binary to run on WinXP, Vista and Windows 7 using WDK 7600.16385.0? > > Or do I need 3 driver binaries per platform (eg x86, amd64)? > > -- > Thanks, > Eric >

Yes, just use the most downlevel build environment for the set of OSes that you need to support. i.e. if you're supporting Win2k, XP, and Vista, use the Win2k build environment. Note however that you still need separate x86 and x64 builds.

Yes, but you need to use XP build env, and thus the lack of post-XP features, unless you will import the functions using MmGetSystemRoutineAddress. -- Maxim S.
