Partial checked build in vista
Posted by Alex Faucher on April 10th, 2007


I installed my checked copy of vista and the performance of our test machine
dropped so much our device became unusable. Is there a good way to install
only some of the checked files?

In particular, I am trying to debug kernel streaming, some of the debugger
features are only supported on the checked build of ks.dll but it doesn't
appear in vista. I see ksproxy.ax but I have no reason to believe that is
it. Has this support been integrated with other modules?

I saw an article on NT Insider on using checked builds and they suggested
also including the kernel and HAL. Is there anything else worth bringing in?

I was able to locate ks.sys in my checked install. Is there a way to coerce
bcdedit to indicate this should be used instead of the non-checked build on
another system?

Thanks

Try WinDbg's .kdfiles.

bcdedit has nothing to do with ks.sys, ks.sys is not a boot driver.
