WinXP build environment

I have installed (in this order):

VC++ 6.0
Platform SDK February 2003
Windows 2000 DDK

in my system (Windows XP SP1) for my build environment but it seems I
messed it up.I cannot build the sample plotter driver.

When I launch the checked build or free build utility, it says that there
are some program or batch files that cannot be recognized.

When I build the sample plotter driver, there is a U1073 error.
plotlib.lib build method is not set, something like that.

When I installed the SDK, I chose to automatically set the environment.

Any idea on this.

Thank you.

If you are just getting started, please consider using the latest released DDK,
as it is self contained and you will not have to deal with problems like this.
Back in the old days my advice was to just install everything twice, as that
seemed to resolve the dependencies :-)

This problem could be because he isn't running the build.exe from the
checked/free build environment.

d:\ntddk\bin\setenv.bat d:\ntddk [checked|free]

Thanks
