[ofw] Open issues in bulding process

[Anatoly Greenblatt]

The reason I raised the #2 was the .htm file in
c:\WinDDK\6001.18001\redist\wdf that says:

This version {6001.18001} of the Windows Driver Kit for Windows Server
2008 does not have the co-installers for the Windows Driver Framework
due to installation problems encountered with the co-installers.

We are working on a fix and will post it at http://connect.microsoft.com
<http://connect.microsoft.com>  on the WDK program page as soon as it is
available.  

Until the new co-installers are available, if you need to build a WDF
driver, please use the Vista RTM WDK which has the version 1.5 WDF
co-installers,  available for download at http://connect.microsoft.com
<http://connect.microsoft.com>  on the WDK program page

 

I've downloaded the 1.7 installer from MsConnect site. They say that
other versions fail to install on Vista RTM.

 

Thanks,

Anatoly.

As for the second issue: Wdfcoinstaller01007 the answer is simple: use
WDK Version 6001.18001. It has a fix for the co-installers problem.

 

Thanks

Tzachi

	Hi,

	 

	I'd like to clarify/discuss/bring to your attention following
issues:

	1.	Digital signatures. There are several ways to sign
drivers. The signature could be taken from file, storage etc. Although
sign-drivers.bat receive a signature name as a parameter, the actual
signature is assumed to be in cse1Store. Few words of explanation about
signature location would be very helpful. 
	2.	Wdfcoinstaller01007. I found the following in wdk
6001.18001: "If you downloaded and installed the Windows Server 2008 WDK
{Version 6001.18000} which contained the KMDF and UMDF version 1.7
installers, DO NOT DISTRIBUTE DRIVER PACKAGES WHICH CONTAIN THE 1.7
INSTALLERS." Is this taken into consideration? 
	3.	.Inf files stamping. It would make sense to stamp files
at their source location once at the beginning of building process, or
at their final location during drivers signing when all .inf files are
gathered in folders - hca, net, storage, etc... I also noticed that not
all .inf files are copied to their locations in wix\...\bin because
makebin tries to copy .inf file from source location, where the file has
been renamed to .inx.

	Best regards,
