It seemed that I didn't set the version of architecture, but I already set that by preprocessor.
I used VS2010&DDK.
So where is the problem? I appreciate your help.

The DDK expects some environment variables to be set, see this:
http://mcdermottcybersecurity.com/articles/64-bit-device-driver-development[^]

Now, you can use the building tools that the DDK uses which already set these variables for you or you can just set them yourself by whatever means in Studio (run script as pre-event or whatever).

Albert Holguin 12-May-11 20:56pm

you can do it in studio too, just have to know what needs to get set...

I googled some answers about how to set in studio ,but it's not working ,i checked for a lot of times ,that "no target architecture"error was always appeared.frustrating......

Do you know how to set environment variables? Did you read the article I linked? ...then you should know what needs to be set to get it working...

Solution 1

I don't have a copy of the DDK but my suggestion would be to look in D:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\inc\api\ntdef.h around line 155 and try to figure out what preprocessor definition you have not set.
