Dear All,

I just installed the DirectX SDK, and I install the Tutorial00 project,
I compile it, but it shows:

------ Build started: Project: Tutorial00, Configuration: Debug Win32
------
Compiling...
Tutorial00.cpp
c:\documents and settings\m0246\my documents\visual studio
projects\tutorial00\tutorial00.cpp(8) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open
include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory
Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\m0246\My
Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Tutorial00\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
Tutorial00 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped
==========

Why there is no <windows.h> ?

Best regards,
Boki.

Hello Boki,

Are you using VC2005 express?
if so, you also have to download and install the platform SDK. it is not
included by default. that is why the compiler cannot find that header file.
