    winternl.h compile error

    Hi,

    I downloaded the last platform sdk which works with vc++ 6 (February
    2003): http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/.../psdk-full.htm

    However im getting a strange error when i compile. what i do is the
    following:

    - Run this shortcut from the start menu to set variables: Set Windows
    XP 32-bit Build Environment (Retail).lnk

    - Open vc++ 6 and create a new Win32 Simple Application

    - Include winternl.h



    This is the code:

    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include <winternl.h>

    int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTAN CE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
    LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {
    PROCESS_BASIC_I NFORMATION p;
    return 0;
    }



    When compiling i get these errors:

    error C2065: 'PROCESS_BASIC_ INFORMATION' : undeclared identifier
    error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'p'
    error C2065: 'p' : undeclared identifier



    The include is done correctly but still that (and any) member from the
    header isn't recognized.
    If i use other headers (just tried a couple) everything works fine.

    Any ideas?

      My idea is that you should ask in a Windows programming group.
      news:comp.os.ms-windows.program mer.win32 is a very good one.

      Nether of these headers is part of the C++ language, they are all
      Windows specific extensions. Non-standard extensions are off-topic
      here.

          OK, thank you for the advice, I'll do that and sorry for asking in the
          wrong group.
