WDK+VS2017,no Host choice shown when "Add a new Target Device"

Question

I'm a beginner for Windows Driver developing, now I'm trying to setup WDK+VisualStudio2017 to start a new KMDF Driver demo.

My Host computer is a laptop with Win10 Home 10.0.16299 ,with WDK 10.0.16299.0,VisualStudio2017 Commumity.

My Target computer is  Win7X64 6.1.7600 install inside vmware, and debug tools installed. 

Host and Target network setup , ping command replies correctlly.

I hava followed the MSDN docs and Videos, then stucked here:

When I try to add a new target device in VisualStudio Driver menu，I can input “Display Name” ，can choose “Device Type”, can choose“Provision Options”，but can input “network host name”（no input box shown at all, I can not upload image for the moment as a new msdn user）.

What should I do for the next ,is there a physics computer necessary? Or I need different version of Host/VisualtStudio/WDK/Target ? Or just mistakes I should to find out？

Thanks ！

Answer 1

Hi,

thanks for posting here.

This forum is about desktop application development. For your case which is more related to the driver development, I will move your case to Windows WDK and Driver development forum for better support.

Your understanding and cooperation will be grateful.

Best Regards,

Baron Bi
