you should probably have a look at the "sources" file of the driver which is
the equivalent of a makefile for PB (defines include paths, linked lib and
so on).

As a driver is a standard dll, I think you should recreate an empty dll
project under eVC, try to include all source code files (.c and .h files) in
the project and insert all build settings from the "sources" file to the
settings of your project.
