Can't compile wxWidgets with VC 2005 Express

[Davros]

Hi there,

I'm getting " fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory" when I try to compile wxWidgets with VC Express 2005.

I have followed instructions in:
http://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=6357

and registered the PSDK directories etc.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Exmple output errors from VC:

Sounds like an installtion problem of VS2005 - did you download and install the SDK? or just the IDE?

Try downloading the SDK from microsoft site (sorry dont have a direct link to it)

THanks for replying on this.

>did you download and install the SDK?

Yep.

I think it's possible, although the empty "New Projects" compile & run.

I'll try a re-install.
