Not exactly correct. If you're talking about the Win32 API, just upgrade to
the latest Platform SDK, and then run the "Register PSDK Directories with
Visual Studio" start menu item under the Platform SDK Visual Studio
registration section. Download the Platform SDK from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/

if you're talking about C Runtime Library, ATL, or MFC, you'll need to
upgrade to a newer version of Visual C++ to get those as Carl mentioned.
