Re: ntstrsafe.h "No such file or directory in Wndows DDk 2600" ????

Thanks for the response

OK now I understand using different build evnironment I can build
device drivers compatible with different OS .

Have some silly question

1) Wat about Vista ?

2) Do I need to make any changes in code to make the driver compatible
with different OS or use the same code with different environment ?

   Forget DDK 2600, use WDK 6001 and the XP build env in it.

   Drivers built by XP build env will _not_ generically work on w2k.
To make a w2k-compatible driver, use w2k build env.

But the w2k build env can be hosted on an XP OS.

I am a beginner to device driver

I hav Windows Xp Sp2 and I am  using Windows DDK 2600.
My device driver source contains link to ntstrsafe.lib and and
#define <ntstrsafe.h>

But I am unable to find these files in the DDK 2600 ,
I get a compaliation error "No such file or directory"

Is there any equivalent header file and library in Windows DDK 2600 ?

Device driver built in Windows XP will it work on windows 2000 and
Windows 2003 ?
