Windows SDK Integration with VS/VC++
Part of my job with MSDN Magazine is looking at the accompanying code samples that we make available for download. A lot of things go into the level of detail that I spend with the code samples (such as how much time I have available, how familiar I am with the particular subject, etc...), but at the very least, I do a spot build to make sure that code at least compiles.
So this morning, I was handed a piece of C++ code by an author that I think very highly of - and in doing a spot-build, I discovered that there were tons of compilation errors. I thought to myself, "doh - I haven't installed the Vista SDK" - so I downloaded and installed the SDK.
Still, no luck.
Then, just before I was about to begin the mindless activity of modifying my env variables, I ran across this post. I ran the VCIntegrate.exe utility, and whala! Worked like a charm!
