Configuring Platform SDK with C++ Express

I know this is alluded to in the sticky by referring to the following link, which has 5 very important steps:

 

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa700755.aspx

 

However, when you go to this URL, it just takes you to the main C++ EXP page. There is a gray menu bar at the top of the page with a menu item that says:

 

"Using the Platform SDK."

 

Follow that link to the pot of gold. You absolutely must do these five things to make it work. It took me an hour to find it the hard way, so I thought I'd point it out for others like me who need a searchlight and bullhorn to see and hear what folks are trying to say. :o

I'm assuming that following these five steps solved your previous problem with compiling the sample.sdk project?

 

I suspect that this was the primary key to success, if so:

 

AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib"

Yes. And 12 hours of heavy head banging has revealed another really important step:

 

TURN OFF UNICODE!

 

I've now succesfully installed C++ EXP, compiled something from the sample SDK and gotten one of the SDK gauges to actually work in the cockpit. In a short 36 hours.

 

I'm thinking of writing something up on the whole procedure that might make a good sticky. It was a very painful process.

Please do just that. When completed, I'll put it in the new Wiki where I'm migrating all the "sticky posts" so the forum will be "neater" and folks can more easily find relevant information from the Wiki's index... ;)
