EWDK Can't find SDK files?

  • VS2019
  • SDK 19041 installed
  • WDK 19041 installed
  • SDK 22000 installed
  • WDK 22000 installed

At this point one can't go back to building with WDK 19041 using Visual Studio because WDK 22000 has become the WDK used by Visual Studio.

I have the EWDK 19041 iso.

  1. Mounted the iso
  2. Command Prompt elevated to Administrator
  3. cd to D:\
  4. Run LaunchBuildEnv.cmd
  5. cd to source tree (this branch builds with VS2019, SDK 19041, WDK 19041)
  6. Run msbuild /t:build /p:configuration=Release /p:platform=x64

C1083: Cannot open include file: 'crtdbg.h': No such file or directory [C:\Users\me\Documents\src\sourceroot\project\subproject
\subproject.vcxproj]

subproject is configured in Visual Studio to use Windows SDK version 10.0 (latest installed version).

What have I done wrong why the EWDK is not able to pickup fundamental headers from the SDK?

Solution

  • Immediately answering my own question.

    Since I have both SDK 19041 and SDK 22000 installed, using 10.0 (latest installed version is selecting SDK 22000 with the EWDK 19041.

    [SOLUTION] Retarget solution to use SDK matching the EWDK I'm using to build.
