FIX: ICMP API Header & Library Files Missing from Windows CE

ID: Q189120

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows CE for the Handheld PC

SYMPTOMS

Windows CE 2.0 supports an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), or ping to determine whether or not a particular host is available. Three ICMP- related functions supported by Windows CE 2.0 are:


   ICMPCreateFile()
   ICMPSendEcho()
   ICMPCloseHandle()

These functions are described in Windows CE SDK 2.0. However, the header and library files for them are missing from the SDK. The missing files are:


   icmpapi.h
   ipexport.h
   icmplib.lib  - Static Library (Object Library)

Note that the icmplib.lib is a static library for ICMP functions. There is no dynamic link library (DLL) for ICMP functions.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. The missing files can be downloaded from the following location:
