That's probably okay, since you have a recent version of VS. I always install a Windows SDK because the SDK that comes with VS will get out of date over time. For instance ooDialog has some newish code that uses control enhancements available under Windows 7. If you were compiling with VS 2005, the compile might fail because of missing defines, and you would need to install an updated SDK. The 7.1 Windows SDK is free from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279 but I wouldn't fool with it if things build. -- Mark Miesfeld > > Rick > > On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 2:09 PM, Mark Miesfeld <[email protected]> wrote: >> On Fri, Jun 1, 2012 at 10:15 AM, Rick McGuire <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> My laptop is starting to show signs of age, so I've just gotten a new >>> one and am finally making the leap to the 64-bit Windows 7 world. >>> I've never had to deal with the 64-bit world before.
