WOW, I cant believe this information isnt easier to find. I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2. NOTHING WORKS! The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them. Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy. It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesnt work and would raise the flag to the appropriate people so they can take the steps to fix it for their users. Or at least document it on the very first page where it is downloaded, or the very first page of the documentation. A user shouldnt have to hit forums to find out how to make a product work.
Sorry, Im not usually one to complain, and I am a big fan of Microsoft. I guess Im just hoping they will fix this or let us know what happened.
I dont understand why I have to copy those directories and why I cant just correct whatever file is pointing to them. I went to those weird config files and changed them to point to my directories, but it still cannot find windows.h. Any ideas?
