Hi,

we have some issues with our driver assembly. The driver is unable to start in an Windows 7 environment. Citect only states the following message, afterwards the IO-Server process crashes with an exception.

We are using Windows 7 32bit with Citect 7.2.

Could you give us some information about the following questions:
1. Is there a possibility to compile the driver with Visual Studio 6, so that it will run under Windows 7?
2. If not, which Visual Studio Version would you recommend for migration and further driver development?
3. Is there a workaround to fix this issue without any changes in the driver assembly?

Thanks so lot.

Best Regards,
Manfred Reyzl

The driver binary needs to be marked as being compatibile with Windows 7. A utility was developed recently to provide third-party driver developers the ability to mark their own drivers as compatible. Important things to note are

1 - This tool only works on third-party drivers
2 - This is not a guarantee that the driver will work under Windows 7 but will remove the restriction of blocking loading of the driver. Compatibility is dependant on the implementation of the driver and appropriate testing should be done to ensure Windows 7 compatibility.

I will post a link to the tool later this afternoon or tomorrow so that it can be downloaded for use.

How to apply MyTest in DDK for a test of driver customization?

I copied the compiled dll file to $CITECT_HOME\bin; and add a new line in PROTDIR.dbf; and copy YOK_CXLE.dbf to MYTEST.dbf; and the driver still cannot be found in the protocol list ...

glmaster,
The names of the communication protocols available are stored in HELP.DBF in the BIN directory. Scroll through the file until you reach the section with TYPE = PROTOCOL to see the existing entries.
If you decide to add your protocol to this file, things to remember are:
1. HELP.DBF is an indexed file and you will need to reindex it after making any changes.
2. HELP.DBF and HELP.NDX may be overwritten when a new service pack, hot fix, etc. is applied. As a consequence you will need to reapply your changes afterwards as simply overwiting the files with a backup may remove newly added entries.
