Re^3: [OT] Visual Studio 2005 is a 64-bit compiler ??

I'm also unable to find a 'windows.h' with this compiler. Perl can't find it either, which means I can't use this compiler with ActivePerl (straight out of the box). Does 'windows.h' simply not exist in Visual Studio 2005 ... or is there another explanation ?

Just in case... my windows.h files are here:

for Visual Studio 2005

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\PlatformSDK\include\wi
+ndows.h
[download]

for the Windows Server 2003 X64 build environment

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include\windows.h
[download]

IIRC, for VS 2005, the Platform SDK was a separate package to install...

IIRC, for VS 2005, the Platform SDK was a separate package to install... Yes, I certainly don't have that Platform SDK folder in the VC 8 installation. I'll see if I can track it down. (Btw, the Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK seems to be functional ... which is a great relief :-) Thanks again. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
