The following tables supply basic information about the samples that are included in the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). For more information about each tool, read the documentation that describes the tool. The tables are organized according to the type of drivers to which the samples apply.
In conformance with Microsoft support policy, Microsoft is removing Microsoft Windows 2000 from its list of supported installation platforms for the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). The WDK continues to provide a Windows 2000 build environment for the development of drivers targeting Windows 2000.
Windows 2000 moved from Mainstream to Extended Support in June 2005 (as defined in the Microsoft Support Lifecycle policy available at
). The Extended Support phase includes security updates and paid support only; it does not provide support for design changes or new product features. As a result, build tools and platform or library support is limited to Windows XP SP2 and later versions of Windows.
The complete list of install-on platforms for the WDK consists of: Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Vista. The complete list of build-for platforms consists of: Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Vista.
Customers that require Windows 2000 as an installation platform can download the Windows Server 2003 SP1 Driver Development Kit (DDK) at no cost from the Windows Hardware Developer Central Web site at
