I finally bit the bullet and followed Christof Meerwald's directions for using the latest platform SDK with DMC++. I am not using *the* latest, but one from February 2003 (it's the one I happened to download a while back). I followed the directions carefully, and have run into a problem post-mortem.

Now that I have applied all of the patches, updates, conversions, lit incense and sacrificed a rabbit on the altar, I have noticed that I cannot compile the Win32 sample code. Also, it seems to have broken the MFC samples and even what is generated by the appexpress wizard will not compile without error. Usually, it's "Needs explicit cast" type of stuff, but there is the occasional "Missing header" and "Missing .lib".

My question is simply this - did I do something wrong, or should I expect to retool a few things?

I was able to get one of the examples compiled - I believe it was the Win32 process monitor. However, that was it.

I am on a Win2K box.

Nevermind... Operator bonehead error. *sigh*
