SHCreateDirectory: identifier not found

Could someone help me with this error I get when I compile?
This isn't really my code, so I got no idea how to fix it.
Thanks.

Code:

---

error C3861: 'SHCreateDirectory': identifier not found

---

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <shlobj.h>

void ConvertStringToWChar (LPCTSTR str, WCHAR *buffer)
{
          int                i;

      for(i=0; str[i]; i++)
            buffer[i] = (WCHAR)str[i];

      buffer[i] = 0;
}

void CreatePath(const char *fname)
{
        int                i;
        char        path[MAX_PATH];
        WCHAR        buffer[MAX_PATH];
       

        strcpy(path,fname);

        i=strlen(path);

        while(path[i]!='\\'&&i>0)
                i--;

        path[i]=0;

        ConvertStringToWChar(path, buffer);
        SHCreateDirectory(NULL, buffer);
}

Take a look here. Particularly at the remarks section:

I do have Windows XP SP2. :confused:

hmm... do you have the Microsoft Platform SDK installed? This assuming you are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express edition?

I got Visual Studio 2005 Express, indeed.
I downloaded the SDK and copied over the include files?

Can't help any further mate. Sorry.
Someone else will, i'm sure.

So copying over the include files was correct?
I wasn't really sure what to do there.

Err... my ears perked. Didn't pay much attention to that remark on your previous post.
No. I don't remember having to do that. You just download the SDK and install it. No file fiddling here.

Check it here:

I have pretty much done what that page says. =/

Is the project linked to the library?

shell32.lib

See this.
Why not use the old CreateDirectory.

There is no SHCreateDirectory in newer SDK versions. But there IS an SHCreateDirectoryEx function. Try that.
