Hi, I've just done a reinstallation of windows, I've reinstalled vc2005 beta2, and also changed the settings as the vc 2005 (or platform sdk), web page says, but when I try to compile a program it says it can't find windows.h. I think (if it isn't anything else), it might be VCProjectEngine.dll.express.config file which I got wrong? If possible can any one post what this file should look like? I've just done a test with a console app, that seems to work ok, but as soon as I add "windows.h" to it, the same thing happens? ps, I'm also getting an error with xlocale?

Hi, thanks for the reply, that page is the one I was working from, the only things I can think of are that I installed the psdk before vc2005, but on that page it says to install vc2005 first, the only other thing is that I've got step 3 wrong, which are the changes to VCProjectEngine.dll.express.config.
It all worked ok before, but that time the other (non sp2) psdk had been installed first, (before the sp2 one).

I did a search for windows.h, and it was in the psdk folders, when I did an #include, with the full path name, the compiler then couldn't find files that windows.h itself included, such as windef.h, I think maybe it can't find some sort of starting point, or something?
