Wdfcoinstaller Question again, on Itanium Processor

I compiled my driver using the w2k3 envoirnment.
I am using WDF 1.7 and when i install my driver on LH it installs ok.
When i install the same driver on W2k3 Server I get this error in the .log
file

----------
WdfCoInstaller: [09/17/2007 19:05.11.090] DIF_INSTALLDEVICE: Pre-Processing

WdfCoInstaller: [09/17/2007 19:05.11.120] ReadComponents: WdfSection for
Driver Service ipmidrv using KMDF lib version Major 0x1, minor 0x7

WdfCoInstaller: [09/17/2007 19:05.11.140] Extract resources: could not find
resources WDFCAB_RESOURCE, error error(1814) The specified resource name
cannot be found in the image file.

----------------

I then modified the .inf file to load the 1.1 wdfcoinstaller instead of the
1.7 wdfcoinstaller and now it loads but i get a #I163 Device not started:
Device has problem: 0x25: CM_PROB_FAILED_DRIVER_ENTRY. error. Not suprised by
this
error but has anyone run into this problem with w2k3 adn 1.7 ? I have read
some where that there were problems with coinstallers not including something
for older windows but i thought they were fixed in 1.7. BTW this on a
Itanium processor.

thanks
Mel

Right now WDF 1.7 only works for Longhorn. This is supposed to be fixed in
the next version of the beta WDK. You need to go back to WDF 1.5 (the
Vista WDK) to run on older OS'es
