Ryan,
Thanks for your help. After searching forever, I finally found the DDK on
Microsoft Connect (horribly designed website, in my opinion). For future
reference, if someone needs the Windows DDK:
1. Go to Microsoft Connect, click on Home
2. Under Join A Connection, click See All Connections
3. Find "Windows Driver Kit (WDK), Windows Logo Kit (WLK) and Windows
Driver Framework (WDF)" in the list, and click Apply Now
4. You should now have a connection to download the DDK
