NdisOpenConfigurationEx fails on Windows Vista Beta2(5308 build)

Hi Everyone,
I am developing an NDIS6.0 network driver for Vista Beta2. I try to use
NdisOpenConfigurationEx function to get a configuration handle that allows
access to configuration parameters in the registry.
I supply the NdisHandle parameter obtained in MPInitialize call back function.

NdisOpenConfigurationEx fails with status code
c000000d(STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER).

This works fine on Beta1.

Could any one throw some light on it.

Thanks in Advance.
Chiranjeevi.

The arguments of NdisOpenConfigurationEx are changed in a way that it does
not generate a compiler error but fails at run-time. Instead of NDIS_HANDLE
it takes some object pointer as first parameter. The new prototype might be
in the latest Windows Driver Kits, try that or i can send it to you later in
the day.

Thanks Pankaj,
Can you please send the new prototype for NdisOpenConfigurationEx.
And also can you give the link from which we can download latest WDK(the one
in which this new prototype is declared).

Chiranjeevi.

Hi

I have sen this too on Vista Beta 1. It is just plain broken. I
havent tested the later Vistas yet, too much other stuff to implement
first.

Check the ndis.h file; the actual proto is there.

Thanks,

I have WDK 5112 version(build environment and documentation). Can I use this
for Windows Vista Beta2 O.S (5308- February release).
I am facing this problem, when i build the driver on this build environment
and use the driver in Vista Beta2(5308 February Release).

Thanks,
Chiranjeevi

Well, the later the better, but I havent tested this yet so I cant say
if this function works yet or not.
