Could anyone plz tell me what file should be linked or included that the link error can be removed as this API is not working and giving a link error
i have included
#include <Ipexport.h>
#include <IcmpApi.h>

AIPing.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IcmpCreateFile@0
Debug/AIPing.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals

You need to link with icmp.lib. You can find this in the platform SDK install dir.

Misc\icmp\lib

I just add the misc dir etc... to the IDE->tools-Options->Directories for lib and include.

Beats me why it's an afterthought, I don't see why they just couldn't have stuck it in the sdk\lib dir....

for searching purposes, icmp.lib is now deprecated, this took me a while to figure out. I don't know if anyone else was having this problem -- or when this problem was fixed...

May 10:
Updated iphlpapi.lib. Icmp.lib is no longer distributed since
its contents have been included in iphlpapi.lib
Updated ws2_32.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib advapi32.lib
and comctl32.lib
