    windows.h

    does anyone know how I can get windows.h to work on microsoft visual 2005 beta 2? I know I have to download it but I can't find a way to do it.... I have tryed to google but have had no luck.... I want to use Microsoft rather than my DevC++ because I am getting application bugs now and again for some reason Any help appreciated in advance

    Do you actually have the windows.h header files or no?
    Code:
    void function(void)
     {
      function();
     }

    Not really. You need the libs or the headers arent much use.

    Well those 400Mb will decompress into about 1.1GB, but most of it is junk. The needed headers, and the needed libs are only maybe 100MB... download DevCpp and try to rip windows libs out of it. See i it works. MS compilers suport object files in coff format. About archives... I don't know.

    You might want to stick with Dev-C++. What problems are you having with it?
