Version Number
The version number of Windows Vista will be 6.0. Any assumptions of an operating system version number of 5.xx, such as in an IFDEF statement, either during setup or at run time, must be considered.
The INF file parsing rules in Windows Vista have been tightened. In Windows XP, it was acceptable to have a file that was referenced in a DDInstall section or [SourceDisksFiles] that was not present in the file directory of the driver. If the driver did not actually use this file, then driver setup still succeeded in Windows XP. In Windows Vista, however, all files that are referenced in the INF file for the driver must be available to copy into the driver store or driver setup will fail.
