If I've picked the wrong news group then please redirect me.
I've installed Visual C++ Express and I'm having trouble compiling
windows (as opposed to console) programs.
The error is "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'windows.h':
No such file or directory"
now I could hunt down a previous version of windows.h (I had
Bloodshed installed), but this gives me a queasy feeling. Do express
versions
support win32 programming? May I have an improper installation?
Should I remove and reinstall?
Disclaimer: I have limited experience with Express-2005/8
You might want to consider obtaining and installing Express-2008. It comes
with a built-in wizard and support for Win32 apps.
ok I've done that and it compiles a win32 hello world.
Thanks! And to Giovanni Dicanio
With Express-2005, you should obtain the latest "Platform SDK" (currently
Win-Server-2003-R2, I believe). Install, and then use Tools+Options
+Directories to reference the SDK "include" and "lib". There is also a way
for the Express-2005 to have a Win32 wizard to generate a new project, but I
don't recall the specifics. Without the wizard, you should still be able to
open and work with a project from VC6 and/or VC71 ... but the .vcproj
file/xml format is different and it is a "one way" conversion ... be
cautious if you want to continue using vc71.
Also, Express-2008 (and 2005?) don't have a resource editor to work with .rc
files.
that might be a stopper. Can I use a standalone resource editor?
I've been using ResEd which does the basic stuff ok.
