Code: [Select]

#include "windows.h"
#include "stdio.h"
 
int main()
{
     MessageBox (0, "Test", "Test", 0);
     for(int i=0; i<10; i++)
     {
          printf("suxx0r!");
     }
     getchar();
}

I just realised that I hadn't installed the SDK

Well, not sure if you got it working or not, anyway here is the VC+2005 project for you to test.

I haven't got it set up correctly.

I tried to build the project and got this error;

Code: [Select]

fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "stdafx.h"' to your source?
I've obviously messed up the installation somehow, any ideas where I should start trying to fix it?

.... any ideas where I should start trying to fix it?

Guess you already did this step, eh ?

Wish I could help you - my installation of the Visual Suite did go rather good - but I
guess this was just luck.

Lol, you know what is so absolutely fucking lame about M$?
I can't open that link with firefox!
For real.
Now I opened this with IE and it works.. Go figure!

Also when I was trying to download psdk with Firefox, the genuine windows verification check actually caused my computer to crash so badly that it took 15 minutes to recover the system, then it was slow so I had to reset aand try with IE.

Anyway, the link looks different to what I was following. This might be where I went wrong, I'll try this now. Cheers

Good luck, Shocky.

Strange to hear that problem with FireFox ... even rather scary to be honest.
It seems to work here with Firefox/2.0.0.2 - theretheless, I remember having
some problems with FireFox and a M$-site as well in the past.

Well, it all seemed to be going ok..
