From: Rams on 20 Mar 2007 05:59 I just setup latest Windows DDK When I tried to build my code it throws an error. stdafx.h(26) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'usbioctl.h': No such file or directory fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'winddi.h': No such file or directory I have the following message too: WINVER not defined. Defaulting to 0x0502 (Windows Server 2003) It looks like some problem with include files or Build environment. Can you tell me how do I resolve? Note that I am building from Visual Studio. Not DOS Command prompt. Thanks
From: Don Burn on 20 Mar 2007 07:29 This has been answer numerous times, you cannot reliably build s driver without invoking the command prompt model. Using Visual Studio directly will just cause bugs, and disable a number of tools you want to be using for good quality code. If you want to develop in a Visual Studio GUI, use DDKBUILD from http://www.hollistech.com/. From, your error messages (stdafx is a huge hint), you need to step back and take a clanss or at a minimum go read a good book such as Walter Oney's "Programming the Windows Driver Model, Second Edition" before even going near the kernel. -- Don Burn (MVP, Windows DDK) Windows 2k/XP/2k3 Filesystem and Driver Consulting Website: http://www.windrvr.com Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/WinDrvr Remove StopSpam to reply "Rams" <Rams(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3CD7BAE1-56CF-41B6-A27A-1C32EF608DDC(a)microsoft.com... >I just setup latest Windows DDK When I tried to build my code it throws an > error. > > stdafx.h(26) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'usbioctl.h': > No > such file or directory > > fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'winddi.h': No such file or > directory > > I have the following message too: > > WINVER not defined.

From: Rams on 20 Mar 2007 11:33 Hi Thanks for the reply. I am not developing driver. It is an exisiting code which queries USB Printer and sends some escape codes.

The new WDK header files are no longer compatible with VC6, and VC6 header files may conflict with WDK headers.
