compiling error -- windows.h

[djscribble]

Greetings, I have been trying to compile a program all day, and i have finally debugged it to the point where i am only getting 1 error (multiple times)... attached is the output from the compiling, and the error is that the compiler is looking for windows.h -- this file did not come with visual studio .net 2003 enterprise architect nor did it come with the program that i am trying to compile in windows.

does anyone have any ideas on what i might be able to do to make this error go away -- also, where could i find a copy of windows.h and all the other file dependancies that it would need (that would work for windows 2k/xp/server 2k3)

thanks

It's not there.

At any rate, some pre-emptive googling turned up:

Hey Hey,


Looks like you forgot your attachment....

Anyways... are you sure you don't have it? I just checked... I've got .Net Professional... but you'd think it would be the same as far as headers go... check <install folder>\VC7\PlatformSDK\Include
You should find Windows.h in there....

If not you can download the PlatformSDK and it should include the file -- http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/...msdk/sdkupdate

Peace,

OK i got all the windows.h errors stomped out however now i am getting the following error (here is the updated contents of what was supposed to be attached in my last message):

i have no idea what the signed/unsigned mismatches are nor what the libcmt error is...

thanks for the help

[edit]
don't worry about the lib errors, i just found that when i installed visual studio, it did not setup the paths to all the libraries, once i fixed that then i was able to get the program compiled...

now i just need to know what the mismatch means
