Hello,

I'm programming a virtual miniport driver that has to redirect every network
packets to a windows service.
To use this service, I need to link my driver with a library that was
originally developped with Visual Studio 2003 in C++ language. My driver is
written in C language.

But when I try to use functions from the DLL, even functions that do not
include classes, the build command gives me this error :
Linking Executable - objchk_wlh_x86\i386\netvmini.sys
errors in directory d:\projets\test
d:\projets\test\netvmini.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
_InstallService@0 referenced in function _DriverEntry@8
d:\projets\test\objchk_wlh_x86\i386\netvmini.sys : error LNK1120: 1
unresolved externals

Is it possible to link my driver with this library or do I need to redevelop
it in C language ?

thanks.

Your DLL is using Win32 calls, you cannot use these in the kernel. You
need to redesign things to not use functions not supported in the kernel.
