Fata error related to file permission

[Ashmon]

Hello all,

I took some sample code from the msdn website which plays back a video file. I try to compile the file and i get the folowing error:

VideoStreaming fatal error C1084: Cannot read include file: 'c:\program files\microsoft visual studio .net 2003\vc7\platformsdk\include\edevdefs.h': Permission denied

Below is the code and the environment i'm using:

#include <Dshow.h>
void main(void)
{
IGraphBuilder *pGraph = NULL;
IMediaControl *pControl = NULL;
IMediaEvent *pEvent = NULL;

// Initialize the COM library.
HRESULT hr = CoInitialize(NULL);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
printf("ERROR - Could not initialize COM library");
return;
}

// Create the filter graph manager and query for interfaces.
hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FilterGraph, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IGraphBuilder, (void **)&pGraph);
if (FAILED(hr))
{
printf("ERROR - Could not create the Filter Graph Manager.");
return;
}

hr = pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaControl, (void **)&pControl);
hr = pGraph->QueryInterface(IID_IMediaEvent, (void **)&pEvent);

// Build the graph. IMPORTANT: Change this string to a file on your system.
hr = pGraph->RenderFile(L"C:\\Movies\Dreamgirls\Dreamgirls (2006).avi", NULL);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Run the graph.
hr = pControl->Run();
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Wait for completion.
long evCode;
pEvent->WaitForCompletion(INFINITE, &evCode);

// Note: Do not use INFINITE in a real application, because it
// can block indefinitely.
}
}
pControl->Release();
pEvent->Release();
pGraph->Release();
CoUninitialize();
}


Environment: Win XP SP2, DirectX (June 2007), .Net 2003, Framework 1.1

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Does the specified include file exist? Do you have read permission for the file (can you open the file in a text editor)?

The file exists but I can't open it. It tells me an unexpected error occured while trying to read the file with wordpad or notepad. I can't open the file with Visual.NET sdk either.

Maybe the file is corrupted or it's a file critical to system functionality so access is denied ?

Thanks,

It's a header file, so I doubt it's critical to system functionality (it doesn't have any executable code in it). Most likely, it's corrupt. Try re-installing the SDK.

You are absolutely right. The file was corrupt. I fixed the issue and I don't get the fatal error anymore.

Thx for the help everybody,
