PRB: "QueryInterface:function does not take 1 parameters" Error

• The Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL) 3.0, used with:
  • Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

When you build an ATL project, you may get the following compiler error:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\atl\include\atlcom.h(3331) : error C2660: 'QueryInterface' : function does not take 1 parameters

CAUSE

In Visual C++ 6.0, a templated version of QueryInterface(), which takes one parameter (instead of the usual two), was added to IUnknown. In ATL 3.0, CComTypeInfoHolder::GetTI() uses this templated version of QueryInterface(). If you have an older version of Unknwn.h in your Include path, you get this compiler error. For example, having the Platform SDK Include directory in front of the \VC98\Include directory causes this problem.

RESOLUTION

Replace the Unknwn.h in the other Include directory with the one from the Visual C++ 6.0 Include directory.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
