Failed to compile on new setup

[pcorbineau]

I tried to compile project on recent setup with Visual Studio 2022 and 2019 with WDK 10 installed but it failed.

I got some trouble about headers in stdafx.h like

#include <ntifs.h>
#include <wdf.h>

Project can't found those headers. If i add it manually to include directories, it failed later on redefinition of objects.

Did I miss something ?

I even try on other setup to install VS2015 but got some errors too.

Hi,

USBDK wasn't adopted to VS2019 and up. Usually when MS switches to new version there are some adaptations needed in projects files.

Try to follow https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/wiki/Building-the-drivers-using-Visual-Studio-2017#obsolete-building-windows-8-windows-2012-drivers-and-up while installing your environment. Please post errors that you will get.

Best regards,
Yan.

I think it is a question of SDK\DDK compatibility.
Just in case, recreate development env and follow also order of the instructions while installing the components.

Ok after uninstalling all SDK/WDK on my pc, then reinstalling SDK10 and WDK10 it works.
I am now be able to work on it.
I am investigating this issue (#99 & #107) that cause many problems for our customers.
If you have any tips for it 🙏

Try to get the logs (#107 has instructions how to gather installation logs)
