Visual Studio Express and windows.h
I've just realised that my copy of Visual Studio 8 Express (i.e. VC++2005) doesn't have windows.h among its include files. In fact, it doesn't have any win*.h files at all, such as winbase.h winuser.h, windef.h etc. I knew that the Express Edition didn't offer MFC but I expected some Windows compatability. After all, BOOL, WORD, LPDWORD etc are defined in some of these files.
Is there anyone here using the Express Edition who can check if they've got the win*.h header files? Maybe there's something missing from my installation.

I think you need to download the Windows SDK separately.

Re: Visual Studio Express and windows.h
Okay, that would make some sense. I've already got a copy of the Platform SDK. It's supposedly circa 2003 but most of the files are about the same age (or even slightly newer) than VC++2005. I guess it must have been updated when I installed VS8.
