    Undeclared identifier in header files

    Hi

    As my title says I have this error, but I'm wondering because these header files are built in header files not customize.

    here are the errors
    Code:

Generating Code...
    If I run the original code in release code the program works fine, but if i try to rebuild the project then those errors will popup and I don't know why as they are built in header files.

    I'm just new to visual c or even to c although I have basic c knowledge, but I know it's not enough. I'm a vb programmer so debugging a program that I don't really understand is very frustrating, I know it's suicide, but I don't have a choice. Right now I need to make it run that's all I need to workout at the moment, so if some one can point me to the right direction I would highly appreciate it.

    Many thanks
    Dennis

    Re: Undeclared identifier in header files

    What are you trying to build? It looks like you're not including some files, or they don't exist. Where is IAsyncSetup defined, for instance?

    Re: Undeclared identifier in header files

    Do I need to define it? They are built in header files in Visual C++ I though the type variable or what ever declaration the built in header file has don't need to be declared or defined? unless it's a user define header. Am I missing something?

    Re: Undeclared identifier in header files

    No, but the right headers need to be included. In the right order.

    Re: Undeclared identifier in header files

    I though it should be taking care of by visual c++ itself since it is a built in header files?

    if it should be included in the correct order what header files should be included before the basetyps.h so on and so forth?

    Why do you mix the VC98 (VC++6.0) code with a "microsoft visual studio 8" PSDK code?
    I guess it is NOT allowed!

    Let's forget about the include files in the platformsdk folder. This is not my source code it was given to us by one of our client to debug, but they didn't give us the dependencies.

    hmmm.... so it's not compatible... I'll remove the platform folder in my include files.

    Any suggestion where can I find the header files in the platform folder that is compatible with visual c++ 6?

    Ok back to the topic. Any ideas about undeclared identifier error?

    If you meant "what PSDK is compatible with visual c++ 6" then the answer would be:
    The last PSDK compatible with visual c++ 6 is the one from February 2003

    You must first correct this platform incompatibility.
    Then we could look at the other problems (if any).

    Re: Undeclared identifier in header files

    I already downloaded the SDK that is compatible with Visual C++, but still I received the same error messages.

    Code:
    c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\comdef.h(695) : error C2065: 'IAsyncSetup' : undeclared identifier

    Any ideas why I'm having this error? comdef.h is built in to Visual C++ and I don't remember in anyway modifying it. Are there any files that I need to add etc..?

    Re: Undeclared identifier in header files

    Did you register the PSDK directories with Visual Studio?
    Also have a look at this thread.

    If you meant If I add the include and lib directories in my Visual C++ Directories, then yes.

    I read the problem regarding with WMI from the link that you gave, but I don't have $(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include in my include directories. I only have the basic include folders and the SDK which I just downloaded and all the include files are in the same directories I don't have windows\v6.0\include folder too.

    Re: Undeclared identifier in header files

    Your "include directories" order is wrong!
    The "Microsoft SDK" must be above all the others!
    See the example:

    Yes changing the order seems to solve the problem
