identifier not found: CreateProcessWithLogonW

Hi!

I'm trying to start a process with different credentials. But I cannot even
compile my code as the compiler (VC++.NET) says "error C3861:
'CreateProcessWithLogonW': identifier not found, even with
argument-dependent lookup".

I have included the following headers etc, which I belive should be
sufficient:
#include "stdafx.h"
#define UNICODE
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <userenv.h>
#include <winbase.h>

Any idea what might be wrong?

Regards,
chris
 
Hi!


I have realized that winbase.h is not included corretly. Even though, I
don't know why.

As my code starts with #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500, the corresponding define
statements and CreateProcessWithLogonW should be processed. But in fact,
LOGON_WITH_PROFILE for example remains undefined after importing winbase.h.

Any ideas?

Why do you include winbase at all? It is automatically included by
windows.h. I guess that's the problem.

Click to expand...

What does stdafx.h look like? Does it include <windows.h> or an MFC header
that does? If so, and if you are using the precompiled header option, the
definition for _WIN32_WINNT comess too late to be seen.

Why not set the minimum version you target in stdafx.h?
