Here is the official Microsoft page about current version of WDK and how to get it.

.The DDK is dead except if you are targeting something that changed
significantly since Server 2003 SP1 such as NDIS.
... or a BDA driver
The Server 2003 SP1 DDK actually has a lot going for it.
Are you saying that the Server 2003 SP1 DDK is preferrable to the
WDK 6000 for BDA? If so why?
Basically I am trying to nail down which DDK/WDK is considered usable for
a production level driver that has a BDA and a USB front end?
What is the driver community using[build enviroment/samples] for stable drivers?
Here's why I ask:
1. I am currently using the WDK version 6000.16386.A. The relnote.htm that comes with the
installation reads:
When to use this WDK
" Use the WDK build environments in this version of the WDK for production-level coding."
BUT the relnote.htm that is ACTUALLY installed in the c:\WinDDK\6000 directory reads:
"Use the WDK build environments in this version of the WDK for evaluation and preview purposes only.
Do not use these WDK build environments for production-level coding. "
Which one do I believe???
2. Additionally, I can not even find the WDK version 6000.16386.A for download anywhere on the MS site.
Only the Server 2003 SP1 DDK is available for public download. Does this implicitly mean, according to MS, that the WDK 6000
should not be used except for experimentation?
Clarification on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
