Hello, i'm starting on driver development with the latest version of visual studio 2019 (and also right now i'm giving a try to 2022 to see if my issue is solved).
I've just want to try debugging tools for windows - kernel debugger debugging option which allows to deploy on a remote computer the driver and test it using windbg internally (as far as i understood).
The problem is that seeing some posts here i'm having the same issue: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/735397/failed-to-install-wdtf-on-configuring-a-target-mac.html
Installing driver test framework is failing and the solution provided is to make use of an WDK that does match the operating system.
My Host and Guest are both windows 10 21H2 (19044.1645), however there is no SDK nor WDK updated to a version above 19041. How i'm supouse to do it? I'm giving a try to visual sutdio 2022 and the preview versions of SDK and WDK but i have little faith since the versions are for Windows 11 which obiousle does not match the SO version i'm using.
How can i solve it?
You have to use these things to develop all Windows Drivers including Windows 11. Others are not supported.
See below.

No, like it is said in the documentation the WDK debugging tools for windows does not work properly if the WDK does not match de SO (check the link i provided). So technically there is no WDK for 1042+ valid for this feature.

I am having the same issue. Is there a resolution?
I solved it, use Visual Studio 2019 with WDK 2004 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2128854) and the SDK 2004 since the API was not updated post 19041 this version is still valid and equivalent for 19041+ (except for Windows 11 obviosulee since it has its own).
Also be aware that all is working except that once I attach to the remote machine the first time works perfecly but after stoping the debug the service that is listening dies and i have to restart the service manually in order to make another debug session. I did not manage to solve this detail it happens using WinDBG or Visual Sutdio 2019 (remote kernel debugging)
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
If u need any further help ask me i will try to help you since Microsoft seems to not really care about this and is not updating documentation nor giving solid answers.
Hi Joseph, Is that the version you are using? 10.0.19041.685?
Sorry for the late replay, yes it is (just answering for documentation purpouses for other people). If you manage to solve the service problem stopping after reatachment let me know. I was also unable to autodeploy the drivers in the VM since the uninstall porcess seems to fail but i didn't waste much time there since its just dropping and stoping and rerun a service (at least my driver is).
Javier,
Thank you for your help. I can now add a driver package in vs2019. I have both wdk and sdk.
Let me now figure out how to sign it correctly hoping it will work correctly. I appreciate your help.
