winddk.h and WDK 10 problems in vs2015

I have a C project(emotiv-emokit-c:https://github.com/petrs/emokit/) that I'm trying to understand, working on Windows 10, VS2015 that additionally required winddk.h along with:

hidpi.h,

hidsdi.h,

hidusage.h,

setupapi.h,

hid.lib

which I downloaded from the internet, unknowing that they're all part of WDK. Upon compilation only winddk.h gave +100 errors, they were mostly:

variable NTSOAPI is not a type name

variable NTSTATUS is not a type name

variable PVOID is not a type name

variable ULONG is not a type name

plenty of expected ';''s

_ULARGE_INTEGER:'union' type redefinition

_SINGLE_LIST_ENTRY:'union' type redefinition

_PROCESSOR_NUMBER:'union' type redefinition

etc.

I had a WDK 7.6 image on my drive, which I installed, then noticing it might not be what visual studio 2015 requires, I installed WDK windows 10, but now I don't know how to implement this new headers(whichever winddk.h requires along its side) contained in WDK. When compiled it gives the same errors as before wth few new one, like:

redeclaration cannot add dllexport/dllimport to "InterlockedPopEntrySList" (declared at line 58 of "c:\Program Files (86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\interlockedapi.h")

which means that the last WDK 10 I've installed is not being affective or it also requires Windows SDK which I remember updating 8.1 SDK few weeks ago.

I'm not sure what to do to next. Even if i remove the downloaded winddk.h and others from the project directory, I don't know how to apply this wdk/sdk to fix this headers issue, before moving any further.

I would appreciate, if someone could help me.

Look up where "winddk.h" is located on your installation and put the directory in the extra include path in the projects includes.
