Hi all,

I've created a USB function application and want it to
communicate with windows host . I came to know about Windows Device
simulation Framework. Now I just want to know how much this framework can
help me in this case. I've downloaded Windows Driver Toolkit for Server 2008
from MS connect.
I also want to know following thing:

1. Will this WDK for server 2008 work for XP also as my development PC has XP?

2. What if I want to test this function simulation on other PC? Do I need to
install complete WDK there first?

The Server 2008 WDK works on XP and builds drivers for 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
and 2008. I have not used DSF but I do not believe you need to install the
WDK on the test machine to get it to work.
