You should not need to do that. The template will add the necessary
include folders to the project. Besides, that file is in km\crt, not in km.
When you changed the include directories, did you do it through the IDE,
or by editing the project file? When editing the project file, you have
to remember to include the old directories, like this:
    Â
%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories);$(DDK_INC_PATH);…/Include
If you do this, you wipe out whatever include directories were there
previously:
    Â
$(DDK_INC_PATH);…/Include

At the moment, I’m a little confused about why this works for me. If I
look at the tlog file to check the “cl” command, it is only including
“km”, but if I do a /P to generate the preprocessor output, it is
finding the file in km\crt.
