BUG: DDK Build Fails Due to Spaces in the Install Directory of SDK |
Q241909
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Driver Development Kit (DDK), on platform(s):
- the hardware: Intel x86
SYMPTOMS
When the free or checked build environment of Microsoft Windows NT DDK is opened, the following error is displayed in the MS-DOS window:
The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
CAUSE
The Platform SDK is installed in a directory that has spaces in its pathname; for instance: \program files\mssdk.
RESOLUTION
- If the Platform SDK is already installed on the system then follow these steps:
- Open the batch file Setenv.bat in a text editor such as Notepad. The file resides in the bin subdirectory where you have installed the DDK.
- Look for the following line in the batch file. It should be the eight line in the file.
- Modify the line so that %MSTOOLS%\setenv is in quotes.
- Save the batch file.
- If the Platform SDK has not been installed, do this:
- Install the Platform SDK in a directory that does not contain spaces in its pathname.
You do not need to modify the Setenv.bat batch file in the DDK as outlined in the first case.
- Install the Platform SDK in a directory that does not contain spaces in its pathname.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
