Problem Fix the Windows SDK issue

Sbb1413 · Feb 18, 2019

When I tried to compile the Shuttle PB, it says, "The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution." I found the SDK in this site but says, "For Windows 8.1 or later." My computer is Windows 7, so please help me!

You just answered yourself.

I fixed, but I found that Orbitersdk.h is missing!

You may need to add it to the solution

The most likely reason is that you did not set the orbiter root directory correctly. Edit Orbitersdk/resources/orbiterroot.vsprops (or Orbitersdk/resources/orbiterroot.props if you already allowed Visual Studio to upgrade your project files) and set the OrbiterDir entry to the correct directory.

Regarding your previous question: there shouldn't be a problem to compile against a Windows 8.1 target, even if your own system is Windows 7, as long as the required runtimes are available to the compiler (hence the message about the missing SDK). Alternatively, you can reset the target platform in the project properties.

Note that the original VS2008 project files do not have a setting for the target platform at all. So this would have been inserted during the project upgrade. It may be that you are given an option to select the target platform during the conversion process. If not, you have to change it manually afterwards.
