including DDK headers

Question

I'm having a bit of trouble including headers from Windows Driver Kit to Visual Studio 2010. Can anyone help me, what I am doing wrong?

I get error message such as C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sal.h': No such file or directory. If I include SDK directory, I get error messages such as type redefinitions. If I copy sal.h to DDK directory, I get error message C1083: Cannot open include file: 'codeanalysis\sourceannotations.h': No such file or directory. If I copy sourceannotations.h file to DDK directory I get other error messages (see below)

VC++ Directoy settings: include directory settings

#include "stdafx.h"


#include <Winsock2.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <strsafe.h>
#include <fwpmu.h>
#include <ndis.h>

Answer 1

You cant' mix the headers from the SDK with the ones from the DDK.

So uncheck the box for inheriting parent settings. May then you have to add other directories from the DDK.

Also note that you also can't mix libraries from the DDK with the ones from the SDK. So you have to do there almost the same.
