The Windows HID driver library is required to compile the PMD OEM-LS library. The required files, including the hidsdi.h file, are part of the Microsoft Windows DDK (Drivers Development Kit.) Microsoft supplies the DDK to MSDN (Microsoft Developers Network) subscribers.

For more information on the Microsoft DDK, please see the following link on the Microsoft Site.

Solution --------
You need the DDK if you want to use the PMD-OEM-LS library, but, If you do not have the DDK, you can take a different route and use the Universal Library API instead of the PMD OEM-LS library. The Universal Library API is supplied on CD with the PMD-LS series, and provides support for C\C++, VB and .NET languages. If you need further advice on using or obtaining the Universal Library API, please call technical support.
