BUG: "This Stub Requires an Updated Version of <Rpcndr.h>" Error

ID: Q234314

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++ 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Compiling a Windows CE project may generate the following compiler error:

fatal error C1189: #error : this stub requires an updated version of <rpcndr.h>

CAUSE

You'll get this error if you include a MIDL-generated header file. These header files use newer macros, like MIDL_INTERFACE(), which is only defined in later versions of Rpcndr.h.

RESOLUTION

You can #include <wceatl.h> before #including any MIDL-generated header files. Wceatl.h contains a definition for MIDL_INTERFACE() and works around the compiler error by #defining __RPCNDR_H_VERSION__.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
