Q83658

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows Device Development Kit (DDK) for Windows, version 3.1
 * Microsoft Windows 95 Driver Development Kit (DDK)

-

SUMMARY
Version 3.1 of the Microsoft Windows SDK does not support adding version resource information to a Linear Executable (LE) format file. Windows 3.1 Virtual Devices (VxDs) are stored in LE format. However, tools are available for adding version resource information to VxDs for Windows 3.10 and Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION
For Windows 95, see the sample VXDRES in the DDK for a makefile and templates which add a version resource to a VxD file. This version information is compatible for use under Windows 3.1 as well.

For Windows 3.1, a tool called ADRC2VXD.EXE is available in the software library which duplicates the functionality of the Windows 95 tool. Search the software library for VXDVER.ZIP, which contains ADRC2VXD.EXE and the files necessary to build a version resource. See the README file in the archive for full information.
