DotNet Visual C: identifier not found: CreateProcessWithLogonW

• chris / 206 / Sun, 05 Apr 2009 03:28:00 GMT / Comments (3)
• Hi!

  I'm trying to start a process with different credentials. But I cannot even
  compile my code as the compiler (VC++.NET) says "error C3861:
  'CreateProcessWithLogonW': identifier not found, even with
  argument-dependent lookup".

  I have included the following headers etc, which I belive should be
  sufficient:
  #include "stdafx.h"
  #define UNICODE
  #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
  #include <windows.h>
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <userenv.h>
  #include <winbase.h
  Any idea what might be wrong?

  Regards,
  chris

• 1. Hi!

     I have realized that winbase.h is not included corretly. Even though, I
     don't know why.

     As my code starts with #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500, the corresponding define
     statements and CreateProcessWithLogonW should be processed. But in fact,
     LOGON_WITH_PROFILE for example remains undefined after importing winbase.h.

     Any ideas?

     Regards,
     Chris

  2. Why do you include winbase at all? It is automatically included by
     windows.h. I guess that's the problem.

     What does stdafx.h look like? Does it include <windows.h> or an MFC header
     that does? If so, and if you are using the precompiled header option, the
     definition for _WIN32_WINNT comess too late to be seen.

     Why not set the minimum version you target in stdafx.h?

     Will
