hi

I want to install the network device driver programmatically on windows98.

for that i had written an 16 bit application using ipdetect sample
provided in 98ddk.

using the 16 bit compiler provided in 2000 ddk, i am able to compile it

but when i execute the exe i get general protection fault.

i tried writing a test application with only main function and no statement in that.

even then the problem persists.

can anybody help.

details: General protection fault in module XXXXX.exe at 0001:00000139.

jyotsna,
I am also working on IPDETECT sample. I am not sure how you are
compiling using Windows 2000 DDK. What you need is Windows 98 DDK and
MSVC 1.52 (available for MSDN users). Using these two, I have compiled
this app under WinXP (and I have not seen this GPF problem).

thanks for reply.

microsoft provides 16 bit compilers in 2000 ddk in winme folder for
creating 16bit exes and dlls.
