Creating a sample project does not compile

[ASICsauce]

If I create a VisualDDK driver project and have it include sample sources for a WDM driver, it does not build.

Here as you see you got an error U7117. The problem probably in spaces in path to VS project. Try to create project in folder which won’t have spaces in it’s path and all will compile.

Another way to solve this problem is to check “Use Visual Studio project system” instead “Use BUILD system” in project properties. In this way your project will be compiled using VS tools, which isn’t good for making drivers, so the choice is yours.
