Re: Correct group for WDM development??

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



This is the discussion group for WDM device drivers. Get the second edition
of Walter's book, there have been improvements. The DDK you need is the
"Windows Server 2003 SP1 DDK", see
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/ddk/orderddkcd.mspx for ordering.
Microsoft charges shipping costs only for this DDK. This DDK will build
drivers for 2000, XP and 2003. The compiler needed to build the drivers is
included with the DDK.

You may want to look at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/foundation/DrvDev_Intro.mspx the paper
explains much of what is needed to get started.
