I am wondering if someone has suggestions about this windows driver package
This is how the inf2Cat Windows version list looks 10_$(DDKPlatform). How do I make sure I am building the driver for other windows version like windows server. Our customers mostly install the driver on a server and then share it.

I have recently developed and tested a kernel driver in windows using visual studio. The Driver itself is nothing but a notifier which prints info about created processes. I have already tested the code on a Windows 10 x64 machine by putting the Windows 10 x64 VM into test mode and installing the driver as a service. It works just as it should.
However I want to test this driver code on multiple windows os versions. The problem is whenever I follow the same steps on Windows 2012 Server R2 x64, Windows 7 x64, Windows 8.1 x64 all of them throw the same error.
Procedure Not Found Error:127
You are most likely calling a function that is not available on older versions of Windows.
Open the driver in Dependency Walker on one of the systems where it fails.
I'm trying to develop a simple Windows 10 app and I wanted to simulate a Pedometer for testing. How can I do that? And what about other type of sensors, can I simulate them too?
Ok I found a solution.
Microsoft provides sample drivers here and there you can find sensors folder. So download what you need, compile and deploy.
To compile you need Windows Driver Kit.
If you're deploying to a x64 machine the drivers has to be signed. I had trouble signing the drivers so I booted Windows 10 with no driver signature enforcement and deployed the driver using DevCon. Check the driver INF once compiled to see the installation instructions.
Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. But I didn't know where else to post this. I have Ubuntu in my laptop. I want to remove it and install Windows 7. My question is, shall I have to install any drivers after installing OS? Also, does Windows7 comes with built in MS Office??
Yeah, normally you need to install drivers by yourself. Some Drivers will be catched by windows update, but normally you have to download the drivers on the manufactor-website and install them. Please check if there are driver availible for windows 7 befor you install it.
Windows 7 have no built in office solution. You have to buy and install microsoft office or your libre oder openoffice.
both. you have to get the correct driver for the machine with matching os.
For example Graphiccarddriver for Radeon m9400 for acer xyz notebook for windows 7 64bit
Using C++ Builder under Rad Studio XE I have created a simple Datasnap server service from scratch. I wanted to test the service installation process before adding any functionality, and found that while it will install successfully on a range of Windows machines, I haven't been able to get it to Start under a clean installation of Windows 7 x64.
The error message trying to start the service is: Windows could not start the service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file.
I have turned off both dynamic linking and run-time libraries. It starts fine under Windows XP and 2003 operating systems, just not this single Win7 machine that I have. I have opened the firewall for the specified ports, and confirmed no other app is using them as well. The service was installed under Administrator, and logs on as Local System account.
Is there a problem with a C++ Builder compiled service under Windows 7, or maybe 64 bit? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction so I don't have to bang my head against the wall too many more time.
Thanks!
Since C++ Builder creates 32bit applications only, make sure you install the service in the c:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder on 64bit Win7 systems. Windows 7 x64 expects to find only 64bit files/services in the system32 folder.
To get information about the wireless LAN cards, I came across the api WlanEnumInterfaces . In the documentation, it says
Minimum supported client - Windows Vista, Windows XP with SP3
It means that the api is available on the above mentioned Operating System
The application is running on Windows XP with SP3, but when inlcude , it gives error - file not found.
If I search my whole PC, this file is not found. Even the corresponding library is 'wlanapi.lib' is missing
Any help would be useful...
You should be looking for wlanapi.dll, which is the runtime component.
Generally when you're using new APIs, you should be using LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress, so you can handle failure gracefully.
This import library is included with the Windows SDK. I have to guess that you've got an old version of it on your machine. The default install location is c:\program files\microsoft\sdks\windows\???\lib where ??? is the SDK version number (like v7.0).
You can download the SDK from Microsoft. Do make sure that the version you get is compatible with your version of Visual Studio. Do not attempt if you have an old one, like version 6.
