C1189 "No target architecture" when building a driver

Question

I am trying to run a simple driver for windows, but am getting the following error: C1189 #error: "No Target Architecture" C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\shared\ntdef.h My code:

#include <sdkddkver.h>

#include <ntddk.h>
#include <wdf.h>
DRIVER_INITIALIZE DriverEntry;
EVT_WDF_DRIVER_DEVICE_ADD KmdfHelloWorldEvtDeviceAdd;

_Use_decl_annotations_
VOID
DriverUnload(
)
{
    KdPrint(("This is driver Exit \r\n"));
}

NTSTATUS
DriverEntry(
    _In_ PDRIVER_OBJECT     DriverObject,
    _In_ PUNICODE_STRING    RegistryPath
)
{
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(DriverObject);
    UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER(RegistryPath);
    // NTSTATUS variable to record success or failure
    NTSTATUS status = STATUS_SUCCESS;
    KdPrint(("This is driver entry \r\n"));

    return status;
}

ntddk.h includes ntdef.h which is where the error happens:

#if defined(_AMD64_) || defined(_X86_)
#define PROBE_ALIGNMENT( _s ) TYPE_ALIGNMENT( ULONG )
#elif defined(_IA64_) || defined(_ARM_) || defined(_ARM64_)

#define PROBE_ALIGNMENT( _s ) TYPE_ALIGNMENT( ULONG )
#elif !defined(RC_INVOKED)
#error "No Target Architecture" // error
#endif

I have tried multiple other sample programs and always end up getting this error.

Adding those macros doesn't make a difference, it still gives the same errors. — David D, Oct 12 '22 at 01:46
because you need define it. if we include *windows.h* here exist code which define this. you can copy-paste this code — RbMm, Oct 15 '22 at 12:15
