Porting WDF windows 7 driver onto Windows8 platform

NTDEV
1

Hi all,
I have a WDF driver source code developed for a PCI express device on windows 7 x64 platform. . I have to port the driver and the application from windows 7 x64 to windows 8 x64…

  1. I have integrated WDK and Visual studio 2012 in win 8. I have taken the Win7 driver and application source codes, build them on this integrated environment but it gives
    fatal error C1189: #error : “No Target Architecture”. should I have to uninstall the DDK/WDK and install it again?

roots of the problem traced to “ntdef.h”. I have attached a code snippet in ntdef.h

#elif !defined(RC_INVOKED)
#error “No Target Architecture”
#endif

  1. I have changed the Target machine type in VS 2012 to x64 and tried, but the results are the same. So I would like to know if we have to introduce some changes in the VS environment because of its integration with WDK 8.0?

Thanks & regards,
Tancy

How did you integrate the code into the environment? Did you run the sources
conversion utility (File->Open->Convert sources/dirs…) or did you try to
do it by hand?

For 1), how did you specifically (with details) port to a vs2012 project? Did you use the nmake2msbuild.exe tool the wdk supplied or did you port it by hand?

No need in porting, the 99% of chances that it will just work on Win8.
