WDK 8.1 installation link

Hi,

I am trying to download WDK 8.1 but can not find the link anywhere.

I found the link for WDK 8 but still my visual studio is complaining 8.1
related folder not found in "Program file(x86)\Windows kits" folder.

Anybody can please point me to WDK 8.1 installation link?

Everything is more or less here:
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/windows-driver-kit
8.1 WDK is this link on that page:
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=393659
You need the 8.1 SDK as well.

Thanks Mark.

I have installed WDK 8.1 and SDK for 8.1 as well. However visual studio is
complaining about rcdll.dll when i try to open a resource file.

May be the installation of SDK 8.1 is broken? I searched in C:\Program
Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1 folder for rcdll.dll but it is not found
anywhere.

I tried reinstalling the SDK multiple times but it is not helping. Any
clues why rcdll.dll is not found ?

It should be in …\bin\x86 and …\bin\x64. The resource compiler
(rc.exe) needs it. Hard to imagine a problem that would only target one
file.

For whatever it is worth I got rcdll.dll files in place in my installation for all my kits.

cd /d C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits

dir /s /b rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.15063.0\arm64\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.15063.0\x64\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.15063.0\x86\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\arm64\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x64\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64\rcdll.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86\rcdll.dll

I am sorry, but I don’t know what is going on with your installation.

What version of visual studio is installed?

Also, I’d try setting up a vm using your favorite hypervisor and creating a
functional build system there, It is much easier to experiment, especially
if you snapshot the thing at its clean pre-install anything state.
