How to make type libraries from Windows 10 SDK and DDK?

Question

I want to make type libraries from Windows 10 SDK and DDK version 16299 and/or 17134. I saw this tutorial TILIB - utility to create type libraries for IDA. Then I downloaded it from IDA Support: Download Center and placed it in IDA installation folder i.e. C:\program files\ida. I tried with both SDK and DDK but both failed. Here are the outputs:

• SDK:

$>tilib64.exe -c -h"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17134.0\um\Windows.h" abc.til
Error C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17134.0\um\Windows.h,1: Can't open include file 'winapifamily.h'

• DDK:

$>tilib64.exe -c -h"C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17134.0\km\wdm.h" abc.til
Error C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17134.0\km\wdm.h,38: #error: Compiler version not supported by Windows DDK

Am I doing anything wrong? Should I add other header and lib files? What is the proper way to make a type libraries for Windows 10?

• Requirements: Here I used tilb64.exe from IDA SDK for making 64bit type library. IDA installation folder is E:\IDA70 and Windows SDK and DDK version 10.0.17134.0.

• Options used: The following two batch files are: one for SDK and one for DDK. Copy the code in .bat or .cmd file. Edit the necessary paths for your IDA and SDK/DDK.

-c     create til-file
-h...  parse .h file
-D...  define a symbol
-I...  list of include directories
-e     ignore errors

Windows.h header file:

• Notes: The include folder (with -I option) may change in future. The definitions (with -D option) are added by judging the conditional #define in corresponding header files. Add more definition until you satisfied. But there are many syntax errors in header files which are suppressed with -e option. Those can be remove only by editing every header files but that is more time consuming and tedious.
