Description

The function midl-default-import-paths returns the default directories for midl to search for imported idl files. See midl for more details.

You can call midl-default-import-paths to see what paths midl is going to use. Microsoft do not actually document where you should be looking for imported files, so there is an element of guessing in midl-default-import-paths, but if you install the Windows SDK in the default place it should work.

If the Windows SDK is not installed, midl-default-import-paths tries to see if the PlatformSDK (the previous incarnation of the Windows SDK) is installed, and uses it instead.
