   Problems with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition...
  So I got sick of using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and decided to download Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.So how do I create a simple Win32 application? (Not a console application.) When creating a new project I have an option for an empty CLR project, a Win32 console app, etc., etc.Every time I try to compile the simplest of programs I get an error that it can't find <windows.h>.So what am I missing here? What project do I need to select to create a simple Windows app? Or do I need to download something else?   
  Installing Visual C++ Express is a 4 step process. You didn't do step 4 [smile]Do all these stepsAll the best,ViLiO   ;  Exactly what I needed. Thank you kind sir.   ;  I had the same problemThey really need to just include that. In the download and have it as an optional install.   ;  Yeah, and even then the Platform SDK isnt the easiest of things to locate the right version, download and install...
