                     36: 
1.1.1.14  root       37: - Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 (Professional Edition or compatible)
                     38: - Microsoft Visual C++ 1.52
                     39: - Microsoft Windows Driver Kit for Windows Vista (build 6000)
1.1.1.13  root       40: - Microsoft Windows SDK 6.0 (integrated with Visual Studio)
1.1.1.16  root       41: - NASM 0.99 assembler
                     42: - Yasm assembler

                     45: IMPORTANT:
                     46: 
                     47: The 64-bit editions of Windows Vista and in some cases (e.g. playback of HD DVD
                     48: content) also the 32-bit editions of Windows Vista do not allow the TrueCrypt
                     49: driver to run without an appropriate digital signature. Therefore, all .sys
                     50: files in official TrueCrypt binary packages are digitally signed with the
                     51: digital certificate of the TrueCrypt Foundation, which was issued by a
                     52: certification authority. At the end of each official .exe and .sys file,
                     53: there are embedded digital signatures and all related certificates (i.e. all
                     54: certificates in the relevant certification chain, such as the certification
                     55: authority certificates, CA-MS cross-certificate, and the TrueCrypt Foundation
                     56: certificate). Keep this in mind if you compile TrueCrypt and compare your
                     57: binaries with the official binaries. If your binaries are unsigned, the sizes
                     58: of the official binaries will usually be approximately 10 KB greater than sizes
                     59: of your binaries (if you use a different version of compiler or if you install
                     60: a different or no service pack for Visual Studio, there may be further
                     61: differences).

                     72:    'WINDDK_ROOT' or 'WINDDK_6000_ROOT' pointing to the DDK installation
