In addition to the format that Microsoft requires for the version number, many vendors have expressed the desire to store an internal version number for product support and testing purposes.

Device drivers that support DirectX on Windows 95 only should have a version number equal to or greater than 4. would be correct.Ĭonversely, a version number of 4.

For example, if a display device driver is a Windows 3.1 display driver or a Windows 95-only display driver, a version number of 4. nnnn.įor device drivers that do not support DirectX, the version number must be greater than 4. Therefore, a display driver's version number should be set to n. nnnn so that it more accurately conformed to the DirectX 9.0 DDK documentation requirement, such applications might not run because they would interpret the driver as an earlier version. If a display driver's version number was switched from n. nn.10.9999.īecause of this legacy WHQL requirement, some DirectX applications required a display driver version number of n.

However, to support legacy WHQL manual test specifications, the documentation also indicated that the version number could be from 6. Note The DirectX 9.0 DDK documentation indicated that the version number for a Windows XP and later DirectX-compatible driver must be from 6. Windows XP and later DirectX 9.0-compatible drivers Windows 2000 DirectX 9.0-compatible drivers Windows 98/Me DirectX 9.0-compatible drivers Windows XP and later DirectX 8.0-compatible drivers Windows 2000 DirectX 8.0-compatible drivers Windows 98/Me DirectX 8.0-compatible drivers Windows XP and later DirectX 7.0-compatible drivers Windows 2000 DirectX 7.0-compatible drivers Windows 98/Me DirectX 7.0-compatible drivers
The following table gives the range of version numbers appropriate for IHV- or OEM-supplied drivers for compatibility with various versions of DirectX. For more information about this directive, see INF DriverVer Directive in the Device Installation section of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) documentation. By using and updating the DriverVer directive, driver packages can be safely and definitively replaced by future versions of the same package.
Note The DriverVer directive provides a way to add version information for the driver package, including the driver file and the INF file itself, to the INF file. If a device driver is shipped with the wrong version number or a version number that uses the wrong format, the end user will encounter difficulties when any DirectX application is installed. With DirectX, version numbers have become very important for device drivers.
To ensure that the end user is able to use a display driver on a specific operating system and with a specific version of DirectX, an appropriate version number must be applied to that driver.
