Technical Document #120

If your driver is intended for a Windows 98/Me target PC, develop your driver on a Windows 2000 or above host PC. Do not try to compile/build your Kernel PlugIn driver on the Windows 98/Me PC.

NOTE: To build the driver for Windows 98/Me, install Windows 98/Me DDK on your host computer and set the kernel project's active build configuration for Windows 98 (i.e., select "Win32 win98 free" or "Win32 win98 checked").

Note that in general, when developing a kernel driver — as done using WinDriver's Kernel PlugIn feature — it is highly recommended to use two computers; set up one computer as your host, and the other as your target computer. The host computer is the computer on which you develop your driver, and the target computer is the computer on which you run and test your developed driver.
