Thank you for contact Microsoft Open Specification Support.
To confirm you are implementing key storage providers that is covered by the Cryptography API Next Generation (CNG)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccng/key-storage-and-retrievalThe the same code you downloaded is from Microsoft Cryptographic Provider Development Kit (CPDK) Version 8.0. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30688?
The CPDK also has dependencies on Windows Driver Kit which can be Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn. Since this is not an open spec question, I am removing [openspecs-windows] and adding [windows-api-security-crypto] https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/topics/364718/windows-api-security-crypto.html
There are some additional posts that might help you.

You can find open specifications here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/. Since your question does not pertain to one of these specifications, I've removed the openspecs tag and added the windows-api-security-crypto tag. Hopefully this will get your post the proper attention.
Best Regards,
