missing header files

missing header files

• KTI

  i do have another compiler that has all these files, but some of the headers do not agree with the visual studio and the other compiler cant do dlls so i cant use it

  Ack, scratch that, read.

  I just noticed what you wrote.

  It seems as if you are trying to use the windows libraries and headers by copying the files from one place and putting them elsewhere. That wont work. You need to get the PlatformSDK and install that and then set the paths according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/default.aspx

  Is winddef.h in the PlatformSDK include directory along with windows.h
  
  

• Qaayam

  if u mean is it in c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc\include which is ware windows.h then no it is not

  Well, if windef.h is not in the same directory as the windows.h file you are using then there is a problem. I suggest you repair install/reinstall your copy of visual studio because that header file is missing.

  My copy of windef.h is in the same Platform SDK /include directory as windows.h. You can reinstall the Platform SDK to restore the file.

  Question: Are you using the latest Platform SDK ("Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2") in its default installation configuration, or have you moved some of the files around
