    Red face 2005 Express: Can't open 'windows.h'

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express can't find the include file 'windows.h.'

    I know there is an easy solution, but I have no idea what it is.

    Any ideas?

    Then include <windows.h> or use Dev-C++.

    It's right there in my code
    Code:
    #include <windows.h>
    It is causing the compiler error as well.

    EDIT:

    It seems it was not in the compiler's search path.

    Thanks
