You don't need Microsoft's psdk.

I'm not a professional programmer; on the contrary, I'm pretty much a novice who writes small C programs for himself.  I will be using the Windows Update Agent API in this project, eventually.  According to my interpretation of MSDN documentation, PSDK is necessary for usage of the Windows Update Agent API; if I'm wrong in my interpretation, could you link me to any web pages that will guide me on usage of this API without linking to the PSDK?

Correction: My project has a single search directory entry "D:\psdk\wua_api_headers_i386" and my compiler has a single entry "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include".  I also added "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\Lib" as a compiler search directory for testing, but this didn't seem to help.

dmoore:
did you try setting the project search directory to "D:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include"
and leaving the compiler search directory as "D:\cygwin\usr\include\mingw" (or whatever the default compiler search path is)
(I assume this is how it is in your Dev-CPP setup -- If it is different, post the differences.)

note that the project dirs get priority over the compiler dirs.

NB: you can post the project files if they are small enough. they get deleted by the mods pretty quickly.

CBuser:
Please note my correction above.  I tried as you suggested:

Compiler:
- D:\cygwin\usr\include\mingw
Project:
- D:\psdk\wua_api_headers_i386
- D:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include

First two errors in the build log:

Compiling: generic.c
In file included from D:/Program Files/Microsoft SDK/include/windef.h:166,
                 from D:/cygwin/usr/include/mingw/excpt.h:20,
                 from D:/Program Files/Microsoft SDK/include/windows.h:157,
                 from D:/c/genericdll/generic.c:2:

<built-in>:77:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
D:/Program Files/Microsoft SDK/include/winnt.h:674:2: #error Must define a target architecture.

dmoore:
what are your dev-cpp compiler path settings? tool->compiler options->directories->c includes and ->c++ includes
