I believe this is part of Platform SDK. You will need to install the
SDK. On my machine I can see this file in PlatformSDK\Include
directory. I can also this under SmartDevices\SDK... directory.

Did you search for this file on your machine? Did you find it? If you found it, is the
directory in your include search path?

In VC6, you can include this directory in directory tab under
Tools::Options dialog. You will need to include the library files as
well on the same tab.

In VC6, select Tools | Options. Click on the Directories tab, and add

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include"

to the Include list. Also add "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Lib" to the Library list.

Then you need to make sure this directory is included in the search path for your build.
You can do this by setting the global state of search directories, or you can just add it
as an include directory in your project.

Make sure you include the platform sdk folder ON TOP OF the one that comes
with Visual Studio in the folder list. So that if there are the same files
in the two folders, the top one (the newest one) will be used.

Which version of the Platform SDK do you have? I'll see if I can figure out what is going
on here...
