Visual Studio 7 and Windows 2000 DDK

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to build the sample code of Windows 2000 DDK with VC7 in the
Build Environment.

I am getting a strange linker error that the debugging information is
corrupt for the last source file's object file and does not produce the
executable (.sys).

I read a KB article (239589) which says VC++6 professional/enterprise is
mandatory for Windows 2000 DDK.

Has anyone faced the same problem? Since VC6 is not available we have to
use VC7.

Please suggest an alternative/solution/workaround for this problem.

Thanks in advance for the great help.

Best Regards,

GNRaj

 

The DDKs since the Windows XP DDK have provided build environments for
previous OSs (back to 2000) and come complete with the correct compiler,
linker and other tools. This no longer requires a separate DDK, SDK and
compiler/linker - nor the need to install them in any particular order
since the DDK is now self-contained.

The latest DDK (Windows Server 2003) can be ordered for the code of
shipping from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/winddk.mspx. Using it, you
can build Windows 2000 drivers.
