Just a wild ass guess: you installed visual studio somewhere like:
“C:\Program Files\Visual Studio”. Which would be the default location
offered to you. Bad idea with the NT4 ddk, and perhaps with the w2k ddk as
well, although as I haven’t made this hideous blunder in a while, I’m not
sure about the w2k ddk. Various bits and pieces of the ddk do not appear to
work and play well with pathnames-that-include-spaces, preferring instead to
interpret them as pathnames-terminated-by-the-first-space.
I’d tell you to just go and re-install visual studio into someplace safe
like C:\VisualStudio, except that it won’t do that, it will re-install it
right where you put it the first time. I’d tell you that you have to
completely uninstall visual studio and then reinstall it someplace safe like
c:\VisualStudio, except that it will continue to re-install bits and pieces
into C:\Program Files\Visual Studio. So after you have completely
uninstalled it, you go to regedit and search for all instances of “Visual
Studio” and delete them. Then re-install the compiler someplace safe like
C:\VisualStudio.
Other people have claimed that there is in fact no problem with ddk tools
and pathnames-that-include-spaces. There have also been suggestions as to
how one can ‘fixup’ the environment after a default install of visual studio
such that the ddk works, but I can’t remember what they were, probably had
something to do with converting “Program Files” to Program~1 and “Visual
Studio” to Visual~1 or some such nonsense in your environment.
