Linker error LNK2026

Hello,

I am developing and maintaining a Windows 2000 driver.
In order to keep my development environment and tools up to date, I just
switched from Win 2003 Server DDK to Win 2003 Server DDK SP1.

Since this change, when I want to rebuild my Windows 2000 driver (using W2K
inc and libs of the DDK), I get the following error :

wdm.lib(NTOSKRNL.EXE) : error LNK2026: module unsafe for SAFESEH image

Does anyone experienced the same?
Can someone tell me the way to get out of this problem?

Thanks,

Olivier

Open your build log file and see if /safeseh link option is set. My guess
is that you are getting this link error because of that. When I build in the
win2k build environment of SP1, I don't see this option set.

Yes I knew it was from the /safeseh linker option, but I do not see it set in
the build log.
Do you know if it could be implicitely set when setting another linker option?

Thanks,

Olivier

Probably the easiest way is to set NO_SAFESEH = 1 in your sources file.
That'll turn off the safeseh check.
