Yea. If its any comfort to you, installing libraries in Visual C++ is usually easier than that. I suspect that the guys working on PDCurses main focus is unix/linux users so they haven't exactly laid out the red carpet for windows users.
Usually it is sufficient to install a package and set up Visual C++ as described earlier.

I was hoping I could find an easy way of creating boxes. Its way to complex for me. Have any other ideas. It would take me a long time to learn how to use it.

I was hoping for a function or some thing

void DrawBox(x1,y1,x2,y2,textcolor,background,shadow)
{
// code here
}

Then any time I wanted a box in my code.

DrawBox(5,5,70,18,15,4,1);

Again Thanks

Well its not really worth it unless you *have* to use console applications for some reason. I don't think there is anything easier available.

Have you considered C# ?
C# will let you add all you need of menus, boxes, statusbars and whatnot with a single click. Besides, C# also integrates web and database development right out of the box.

C# IDE
Tutorials

Thats what I would look into at this point.

Visual C++ 2008 express also have a project type called Windows Forms Application that will let you add windows components in a drag-and-drop environment. Even though I would recommend C# myself.
