Hussain,

Drivers should be debugged remotely using WinDbg or similar tool. (Read in DDK about this).
VS 6, 7, .... contain folder that you can copy to XPe. They are used for remote debugging your applications on XP/XPe from
Development Machine. Search for msvcmon.

So as you can see you do not need VS on your XPe. Also I always remote debug applications whether I write them for XP/XPe, because
remote debugging gives more accurate results to real program execution especially when application uses exclusive modes for graphic
or keyboard.

> Will you please guide me how to install the Visula Studio 6
You can read threads from search I gave you in previous thread.

> One more qs. i have, is Visual Studio 7.0 will be supported by WINXPE???
No it goes other way. YOU must make XPe image so support VS 7.0. But since XPe can be like XPP then it can work.

Also there is no point in creating special XPe for debugging and then using completely different XPe image for production.
Use XPP for initial development and then make XPe in a way to support your final application.

Best regards,
Slobodan
