Windows Logo Kit - QFE Updates
The Windows Logo Kit (WLK) contains everything needed to certify devices for Windows: Driver Test Manager (DTM), the required tests, and the documentation needed to set up DTM and execute the tests. WLK updates or Quick Fix Engineering (QFE) releases will appear here as they become available.
IMPORTANT: QFE Installation Notes
| • | After you install a QFE you cannot resume a logo test run that was in progress. You will need to create a new logo test run. |
| • | Log files from a QFE install can be found under the \Windows directory. |

WLK QFE 305: Critical Updates to the PCI Hardware Compliance Test
Download WLK QFE 305 [1.53 MB]
Update Description: This QFE addresses a digital certificate issue with the PCI Hardware Compliance Test.
The PCI Hardware Compliance Test for the x86 architecture included with WLK 1.0c is signed with a digital certificate that expires on December 22, 2007. Consequently, the PCI Hardware Compliance Test will not install and run on x86 test machines after December 22, 2007.
Note: Microsoft highly recommends that this QFE be installed on all DTM 1.0.c controllers immediately.
WLK Version: v1.0.c (1.0.6417.300). Do not attempt to install this QFE on any other controller build.
DTM Harness (Infrastructure) QFE Packages
WLK QFE 304: Critical Updates to DTM Harness
Download WLK QFE 304 [19.7 MB]
Update Description: This QFE addresses several issues in the DTM harness:
| • | Log file copy. Log files generated on the client were not being successfully copied to the controller. The situation could have resulted in missing log files during submission rollup or in a failed Winqual submission. |
| • | UpdateFilters.exe. Windows Logo Kit 1.0.c shipped without a version of the UpdateFilters.exe binary. This QFE adds the appropriate version of the UpdateFilters.exe to the controller. |
| • | Submission rollup log. Summary log file generated in the submission rollup included results applied from the filter process. The situation may have caused submission results to be out of sync with the Winqual filter process and/or the WLK log review tool. |
| • | Network Gatherer. During test setup, some LAN devices were mistakenly identified by the gatherer as WLAN devices on Windows XP systems. This action prevented users from running the WLAN logo program on Windows XP since the apparent system configuration did not match the minimum requirements (the required LAN device only shows as a WLAN device). |
| • | SQLDataReader exception. Concurrent SQLDataReader queries caused an exception when calling DeviceScript.ConnectToDataStore() or DeviceScript.ConnectToNamedDataStore(). |
Note: Microsoft highly recommends that this QFE be installed on all DTM 1.0.c controllers immediately.
WLK Version: v1.0.c (1.0.6417.300). Do not attempt to install this QFE on any other controller build.

WLK QFE 301: Critical Updates to Storage Tests Download WLK QFE 301 [691 KB]
Update Description: This QFE addresses issues found in the Disk Stress, Disk Verification, SCSI Compliance, Syscache, IFS, and iSCSI Target Digest Test (Disk) tests. This QFE corrects the following problems:
| • | Tests that are scheduled against MPIO device-specific modules fail soon after being launched. |
| • | When you start the Disk Stress and Disk Verification tests against multiple dynamic disks or adapters with dynamic disks, the tests launch multiple test cases per volume and cause failures. |
| • | Failures occur when you run Disk Stress and Disk Verification tests against NTFS-formatted removable devices on x86-based versions of Windows XP. |
Note: This QFE applies only if you are attempting to receive a logo in the hardware-based RAID (storage array) or removable storage logo programs or the system logo program.
WLK Version: v1.0.c (1.0.6417.300). Do not attempt to install this QFE on any other controller build.
