Re: mfc project not compile in visual studio 2008

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I thought it odd that the winnt.h was found in the atlmfc/include subdirectory, since that
is not an expected place to find these header files; they are NOT part of atlmfc, but part
of the platform sdk. I just checked my VS2008 install, and found that it puts the header
files in

c:\program files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include

which is a little odd because it confuses the platform (V6.0A) with the VS (I don't have
6.0 on my new machine). However, I would seriously question why the header file is found
in the place you are finding it.

I looked at line 3019 of my file and it doesn't have anything useful. Are you sure this
header file is in the right place?

I made a mfc project using wizard in visual studio 2008 and it didn`t
compile,. i didn`t add anything, just made it as it should be.
i tried changing _WIN32_WINNT and WINVER 0x0600 but it just resulted in
another errors.
i also reinstalled my vs 2008, but it didn`t help.
For more informations i have win xp sp2 and freshly installed microsoft
visual studio 2008 in a default way.
