ntstrsafe.h "No such file or directory in Wndows DDk 2600" ????
Beginner to device driver
I hav Windows Xp Sp2 and I am using Windows DDK 2600.
My device driver source contains link to ntstrsafe.lib and and #define
<ntstrsafe.h>
But I am unable to find these files in the DDK 2600 ,
I get a compaliation error "No such file or directory"
Is there any equivalent header file and library in Windows DDK 2600 ?
Device driver built in Windows XP will it work on windows 2000 and
Windows 2003 ?
Please guide me

A driver will not necessarily work on downlevel platforms. But this is
more a question of which APIs and build settings you use than which
DDK/WDK you use. Using appropriate build settings, you can build drivers
for OS releases older than the your DDK/WDK version.

Drivers built by XP build env will _not_ generically work on w2k. To make a
w2k-compatible driver, use w2k build env.

But the w2k build env can be hosted on an XP OS.
Beginner to device driver
OK now I understand using different build evnironment I can build
device drivers compatible with different OS .
Have some silly question
1) Wat about Vista ?
2) Do I need to make any changes in code to make the driver compatible
with different OS or use the same code with different environment ?

Most w2k/XP drivers run on Vista unchanged, the only major new thing in Vista
kernel land is NDIS6. NDIS5 miniports and IMs will run, but thru wrappers and
thus slower.

Build to the oldest API using the oldest build env - namely w2k. This will
work.
If you really want to use later features, you have 2 ways:
- discover the features in runtime by RtlIsNtDdiVersionAvailable (the modern
proper GetVersion call) and MmGetSystemRoutineAddress.
- use the new features under the NTDDI_VERSION macro and rebuild the code using
different build envs - so, the SYS file built by w2k build env will be for w2k
only, the SYS file built by XP build env will be for XP only, and so on.
Advantage of way 1 - single binary for all OSes. Advantage of way 2 - more
proper use of the new kernel features.

Well I downloaded Windows Vista WDK 6000 as I couldn find a separate
WDK for XP .
Shall I install Windows Vista WDK 6000 in XP and build drivers ? Will
it work fine ?
Or I need to install this in Windows vista only ?

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

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.

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 ?

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.

Beginner to device driver
well I was trying to debug 1 scenario where in
I have an application that does DeviceIoControl to write data to usb
device (which fails)
DeviceIOControl is internally taken care by device driver ...
As soon I as call DeviceIocontrol I want to start debugging device
driver or display DbgPrint() coments
Is it possible?
Thanks again for helping me out

Is this your driver which you have just built? yes, surely.

Well, what does your DriverEntry do, and what does it return?

This is a PnP driver. You said you were starting it from the command line.
How were you doing that?
Beginner to device driver
cannot be started through command promt
but I even tried with code using StartService api call ,even then I
face the same problem .....

Right. The "sc" command is just a way to access the StartService API. PnP
drivers cannot be started as services. They must be loaded by PnP when
some bus driver enumerates them.
What kind of a driver is this?
