WDK 7.0.0 compilation error

I recently downloaded the latest WDK 7.0.0 and started working on HID USB. I
downloaded an example code from http://www.lvr.com/hidpage.htm. I got a
compilation error for usbhidioc.cpp -

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "usbhidioc.h"
#include "usbhidiocDlg.h"
#include <wtypes.h>
#include <setupapi.h>

extern "C" {

#include "hidsdi.h"
#include "process.h"

}
-------

1>usbhidioc.cpp
1>c:\winddk\7600.16385.0\inc\api\hidpi.h(302) : error C2065: 'PASSIVE_LEVEL'

1>c:\winddk\7600.16385.0\inc\api\hidpi.h(303) : error C2146: syntax error :
missing ';' before identifier 'NTSTATUS'

I know PASSIVE_LEVEL is defined in wdm.h, so I included ntifs.h (or wdm.h
directly). I got the following error -

1>c:\winddk\7600.16385.0\inc\api\driverspecs.h(356 ) : error C2144: syntax
error : 'char' should be preceded by ')'
1>c:\winddk\7600.16385.0\inc\api\driverspecs.h(356 ) : error C3861:

1>c:\winddk\7600.16385.0\inc\api\driverspecs.h(374 ) : error C3861:
'SAL_acquire': identifier not found

It seems that the annotation is broken somehow. Should I include some other
headers for hte annotation to work. I added also driverspecs.h but it does
not work either. I am using Windows SDK 6.0 A. So is it a problem from the
incompatibility of Windows SDK 6.0 A and WDK 7.0.0? Upgrading from Windows
SDK 6.0A to Windows 7 SDK would not be a small feat for me.

Many thanks,
scur

you definitely need to move the win7 wdk. annotations in general are not
downlevel compatible

Hi Doron,

Thanks for your reply. So I have to upgrade my Windows SDK 6.0A to
Windows 7 SDK, right? Or should I use an earlier version of WDK? Right now,
on Microsoft website, I could not find the earlier WDK versions. So the only
choice for me is to upgrade the SDK, right?

Thanks,
scur

The problem is fixed after I upgrade SDK to Window 7 SDK.
