GetDllDirectory() isn't recognized!?!?
(OP)
I hate it when Visual Studio does this to me...
I'm trying to use GetDllDirectory() in my MFC DLL app.
I have this code in my function:
When I compile it, I get this compile error:
I added the SDK include and lib directories to my project settings.
I tried including <windows.h> and even <winbase.h> but no luck.
If I add this function declaration to my code (copied from <winbase.h>:

If I try using the GetCurrentDirectory() function right above it in <winbase.h> it compiles and links with no problem.
Why does Visual Studio hate me?

I guess it helps to read the entire page in MSDN instead of skimming through it.
I needed to define some Windows preprocessor variables to a higher number:
