Enhanced the CI workflow to dynamically select the best available UMDF WDF header version on the runner and pass the UMDF version minor to msbuild. Updated MttVDD.vcxproj to include multiple possible UMDF include paths, improving compatibility with different Windows SDK layouts and ensuring the correct headers are used during builds.
Deleted the 'build-and-sign-sequential.yml' and 'build-installer.yml' workflows, consolidating build logic. Updated 'ci-validation.yml' to 'Build Virtual Display Driver', now building both x64 and ARM64 VDD in matrix jobs and uploading artifacts, streamlining CI for pull requests and manual runs.
Eliminated the reference to the Windows-Driver-Frameworks UMDF 2.15 include directory from all build configurations in MttVDD.vcxproj. This streamlines the include paths and may reflect a change in dependency management or project requirements.
Introduces a PowerShell step in both build-and-sign-sequential and ci-validation workflows to output and verify the location of the IddCx header in the Windows SDK. This aids in diagnosing SDK path issues during CI runs.
Changed the include directive from 'iddcx.h' to 'IddCx.h' in Driver.h to match correct casing. Updated MttVDD.vcxproj to add the Windows SDK IddCx include directory, ensuring the correct versioned path is used for IddCx headers.
Both build-and-sign-sequential.yml and ci-validation.yml now install the Windows Driver Kit using Chocolatey to provide IddCx headers required for the build process.
Added Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF) UMDF 2.15 public headers to ThirdParty/Windows-Driver-Frameworks. Updated GitHub Actions workflows to robustly detect and set Windows SDK paths and versions, and to pass these as MSBuild parameters for driver builds. This improves build reliability and ensures correct SDK usage in CI environments.
Added Windows Driver Frameworks UMDF header (wudfwdm.h) under ThirdParty to ensure CI builds work on runners missing Windows Kits/WDK. Removed PowerShell logic from CI workflows that attempted to locate or install UMDF headers, and updated MSBuild invocations to no longer depend on custom environment variables for SDK paths.
Update PowerShell logic in build-and-sign-sequential.yml and ci-validation.yml to handle both flat and versioned WDK header layouts. This ensures compatibility with different runner environments by checking for headers in both possible locations.
Refactored PowerShell logic in build-and-sign-sequential.yml and ci-validation.yml to robustly detect and install UMDF headers (wudfwdm.h). Now attempts installation via winget if headers are missing, improving reliability on runners without preinstalled SDK/WDK.
Added steps to both build-and-sign-sequential.yml and ci-validation.yml workflows to dynamically detect the installed Windows Kits version and set the appropriate MSBuild properties for WindowsSdkDir and WindowsTargetPlatformVersion. This ensures the correct SDK is used for driver builds, improving reliability across environments. Also simplified the SignPath submission step condition.
Refactored the build-and-sign-sequential workflow to simplify Windows SDK/WDK installation, update MSBuild setup, and improve installer build steps. Added new workflows: build-installer.yml for building the installer independently, and ci-validation.yml for fast CI validation on PRs and pushes. These changes streamline CI processes and separate installer and validation logic for better maintainability.
Added automatic detection of Windows Kits version and SDK directory in the build workflow, passing them to msbuild for driver builds. Removed manual inclusion of wudfwdm.h from the project files to rely on SDK headers, streamlining build configuration and reducing local dependencies.
