Hi,

I like the idea of asking AppVeyor if they could include the EWDK in one of 
their images. It is a standalone tool, so Visual Studio is not needed.

Sadly I don't see a Chocolatey package for the EWDK. That would have been 
convenient.

The AppVeyor docs[1] say that the Visual Studio 2017 image in AppVeyor already 
has the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) installed. Buildtap.py would need a couple of 
changes to consume the WDK instead of the EWDK, but it is an option.

Thanks,
Jon

Subject: Re: tap-windows6 and AppVeyor

hi,

I have some very amazing expirience with app veyor when I was playing with 
mingw builds.
there was an issue related to mingw and I saw it between builds (mingw 
upgraded), so I first decided "could it be app veyor ?!"

people from app veyor were very helpful in troubleshooting that.


so, I guess we can try to open an issue in their tracker this time as well.


as for network share - due to "wanna cry" and similar malwares, network shares 
are blocked over internet usually.
another option might be to try build services at

Perhaps we could make the ISO available as a network share?
