Hi, what version of Microsoft SDK is compatibile with Windows 98SE? I have
installed VS6, SP5 and Microsoft SDK Feb 2003 Core components. When I try to
compile I get an error message, "The C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT
SDK\BIN\RC.EXE file expects a newer version of Windows. Upgrade your Windows
version.". I want to run VS6 in Windows 98 to debug an application that uses
GDI32, as GDI32 behaves differently in Win98.
