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

You install the symbols where Windbg runs, but you will still probably get
complaints since if any hotfixes are applied to the test environment the
symbols will be wrong. Most of us use the Microsoft symbol server see
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/Debugging/debugstart.mspx which will
download to a cache on your computer the symbols for your test environment.

Thanks for the help I was able to build the device driver
and to some extent I was able to debug ... using Windows Debugger

and VMware image

I just put some DbgBreakPoints in code and tried to debug it and I got
following error

"

Debugger is not using correct symbols
In order for this command to work properly symbol path should point
to .pdb files that have full type information"

I downloaded WindowsXP-SP2-Symbols where do I need to install this ?
in local machine or vmware image ?

and hw do i link to .pdb files ?

Well I downloaded Windows Vista WDK 6000 as I couldn find a separate
WDK for XP .

WDK 6000 is a bit obsolete too, use 6001 (the Server 2008 WDK).

Shall I install Windows Vista WDK 6000 in XP and build drivers ? Will
it work fine ?

Yes. It can be installed from XP up and requires .NET 2.0 (provided on
the same
disc).

It has several build envs - for w2k/XP/WNET aka 2003/WLH aka Vista or
2008 -
and for several CPU types - x86, x64, amd64.

So, it works from XP up, and can build from w2k up.
