From: Hannes on 12 May 2010 05:46 We need to distribute a driver with WDF 1.7. It has to work on all OSes (XP, Vista, Win7). What WDK should we install to get the right coinstallers? WDK 6001.18001, which contains coinstallers 6001.18000, comes with the following readme (here truncated): "WDK ... 6001.18000 ... DO NOT DISTRIBUTE" I believe we need WDK 6001.18002, which appears to be the latest WDF 1.7. Where can we get this? I don't see it on my MSDN subscriber downloads. Thanks, / Hannes.
From: Doron Holan [MSFT] on 12 May 2010 17:16 why not kmdf v1.9 (Which is what is on w7 anyways). since you have to have xp which has no inbox version of kmdf, there is no minimum version of kmdf you can bind to that would eliminate the need for the coinstaller to go in your package d -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

From: Hannes on 17 May 2010 03:30 Sorry, we can't use WDF 1.9 for multiple reasons: 1 - We have multiple customers who can't accept a restart of their XP and Vista machines during their manufacturing process. Installing a WDF 1.9 driver requires a reboot to update WDF, which takes too long durnig manufacturing. 2 - Our existing driver was developed and verified on WDF 1.7, and we can't introduce new risk at this time. WDF 1.9 may be considered for next driver redesign. Please help us understand which WDF 1.7 version to use, and what WDK to install. Thanks, / Hannes.

From: Doron Holan [MSFT] on 17 May 2010 13:18 the 6001 WDK contains v1.7. Vista RTM will still require a reboot for v1.7, only vista sp1 ships with kmdf v1.7. KMDF v1.9 is a minor upgrade from v1.7, it should require little to no work to upgrade d "Hannes" wrote in message news:A6E4BE07-6526-4867-ABB2-AF747378B6BC(a)microsoft.com...

-What build of 6001 should we use? (e.g. 18000, 18001, 18002) -Where can we download this? I can't find 6001 on MSDN Subscriber Downloads. / Hannes.
