Today, searching for references to DDKWizard, I found that several people have posted misleading information in response to others recommending DDKWizard. For the most part they are recommending to use the DDK/WDK build environment. Bravo. That’s just what DDKWizard does, except that DDKWizard makes it a breeze to create and configure such projects. The magic behind DDKWizard is not the Visual Studio compiler and linker, but one of the OSR DDKBUILD scripts. This makes projects created with DDKWizard as portable as any other DDK/WDK project but leaves the developer with the option to work on the project conveniently from within the Visual Studio IDE.
So no worries, using DDKWizard will not use the Visual Studio compiler and linker (something that Microsoft advises against, when developing drivers), but will instead use the DDK/WDK build environment.
Feedback and project template contributions are generally appreciated.
