I've been trying to find where I can't get the SDV from, which is
described in the following link as being part of WDF:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/wdf/Drv-VerTools.mspx

I just finished downloading WDF, and installled it, but I still can't
find the SDV tool.

I did find a cab file (tool_sdv.cab), in the 5484.4_WDK_B2.iso which
came with WDF iso, but there's no assoicated install program with it,
and when I extracted the files listed in this cab file I found no
executables, or instructions for this tool.

Does anyone know where I can get this tool form?

If had been part of an early WDF beta, but is no longer in the WDF. To get
it now you need to get the WDK beta and install the WDK. This will also get
you the latest PreFast which has a number of powerful extensions over the
currently shipping version.

I did instal the WDF beta, but I still don't see where it's located at,
and I did a file search for SDV in the sub directory, but nothing came
up.

Disregard my last post.
I took a second look, and now realized the WDF beta installs in a 5384
sub directory.
The non-beta version installs in a WDF sub directory, which is what I
would expect from the beta version.
For anyone else looking for this, you'll find the SDV in the following
directory if you install WDF beta:
C:\WINDDK\5384\tools\sdv

SDV stands for Static Driver Verifier, this is an advanced tool that does
compile time analysis of potential problems in a Windows Device Driver. See
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/tools/SDV.mspx for more information.

SDV places a driver in a hostile environment and systematically tests all
code paths by looking for violations of WDM usage rules. The symbolic
execution makes very few assumptions about the state of the operating system
or the initial state of the driver, so it can exercise situations that are
difficult to exercise by traditional testing.


Thanks~
