Why does 'iprtrmib.h' in Window Kits 8.0 reference 'mprapidef.h' in window 'kits 8.1'?

I am using Visual Studio 2012 (Update 5) with MS Window Kits 8.0 and .NET Framework 4.5.51209. Recently, I also installed MS Window Kits 8.1.

Now, I have a file: '\windows kits\8.0\include\shared\iprtrmib.h' that failes to include 'mprapidef.h'.

That include file only exists at: '\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared\mprapidef.h', which is not in my include path.

My Visual Studio 'Include Directories' is set to: "$(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath);".

These are my Visual Studio macros:

  • VCInstallDir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\VC\

  • WindowsSDK_IncludePath: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\winrt

When searching, I found a slightly similar question: missing header file on a new installation of visual studio 2012

I tried repairing my Visual Studio installation. I do not want to change the 'Include Directories' for each of my projects. What else should I try?

I installed vs2015 and vs2012, then the same problem occurs,however, I find a solution.

open visual studio project settings,click VC++ Directories, find Include Directories,add the following line to it.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\shared

One may add the corresponding 8.1 paths to the environment variable. Maybe it's necessary to do the same thing with the lib environment variable (WindowsSDK_LibraryPath_x86).
