Where are the WDF files in the WDK?

  • Artikel

The WDF (both UMDF and KMDF) files in the WDK are not found in a single directory, rather they are spread out across the entire WDK directory tree. Why? Because the WDK is not just WDF J and the WDK has directories for different purposes, so replicating a specifically purposed directory (like redistributables) under a WDF tree doesn't make much sense. Here is a table of the components and where you can find them (assuming your current directory is WinDDK\6000)
