Missing WDK / SDK files.

Question

I need files such as ntddk.h and ntoskrnl.lib to build an executable for a client. From what I have read on the Internet, these files should be installed when I install the Windows SDK and WDK at location c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0\km. After the installations, I have a dir :\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0, but no dir km under that. Any clues as to what I may be doing wrong or how to get these files?

Answer 1

Those files are in the WDK : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk

(but usually not needed if you don't develop a Driver...)

Answer 2

Hello there,

The WDK now supports Visual Studio 2022. All editions are supported. The WDK no longer supports Visual Studio 2019.

This page contains installation instructions for Insider Preview (pre-release) versions of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). The download links for the latest pre-release version of the WDK and the EWDK are on https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewWDK.
