   precompiled header files in Visual C++ Express
  Hi, I am trying to compile a c++ program which I think was written using Visual C++Express Edition by someone else. However, when I try to compile the stdafx.cpp file, which includes the stdafx.h file, I get errors. The stdafx.h file itself includes :#include <atlbase.h>#include <atlcom.h>#include <atlwin.h>#include <atlhost.h>#include <exdisp.h>#include <wininet.h>The error that I get is:fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'atlbase.h': No such file or directoryDon't all header files above, including atlbase.h, already come with the Express Edition. Maybe the header files are just not being located properly?Thank you.   
  I *think* you still need to download the Platform SDK and set the include paths if you want the win32 headers.   ;  Thank you for your prompt reply. I will try doing that.
