Guess you are out of luck. The WDK headers are incompatible with

VC6, which I don't remember if it even supported C++. I would always

There was no VC6 for DOS. Visual Studio 6 was nothing more than a package
containing VC6, VB6, VJ++, VFoxPro.

Maybe you are thinking of Microsoft C/C++ Compiler 6 from the 1990's, which
did not say "Visual" in the name.

use VS6 as no other language in that package is appropriate/normally
used for this area of development.
Sign up for connect at Microsoft. Join the WDK/KMDF/etc program. When you
are accepted, sign back in and go to your participation,
WDK, then click downloads. It isn't that difficult.

There is NO WDK for Windows XP. XP, XP SPs, Server 2003, and Serve

are the last DDKs. The WDK begin with Vista and now includes a

version. They all can compile downlevel to XP. Pay for a MSDN
subscription
of the appropriate level and you can download them or have them
shipped to
you.

Hi, I've been trying for a day or so to find the WDK for windows
XP. I'm
working on a driver for a usb device. I've followed the
instructions from
the
How to Get the Windows Driver Kit and the Windows Logo Kit web
page. I've
logged in however I'm unable to locate the WDK.

I'm sure I'm overlooking something but I'll be darned if I can
find it in
that list.
any help would be appreciated :)




Thanks for the info. I'm trying to build a visual c++ 6 program
I've downloaded from a USB development group. This is for home use,
and is not
intended to be sold. The documentation references the windows DDK
and the files: hid.h, hidsdi.h, setupapi.lib, and setupapi.h.

When I started searching the microsoft site, it mentioned that it
was superceded by the WDK. Can the windows DDK still be downloaded.
I don't have a payed subscription for msdn. Can this still be
downloaded? As I mentioned this is not for profit, but for
learning more about usb communications.
