[ace-users] ACE Build: Linking issues while building ACE on WindowsXP SP2 / Visual Studio 2005 Express

[Steve Huston]

Hi Shourya,

Thank you for the PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM.

You're using the "Express" edition of Visual Studio .NET 2005, which
does not come with a platform SDK. The missing SDK is why you're
getting link errors.

Please check the groups.google.com comp.soft-sys.ace archives for this
error - it's been discussed previously on this list.

Thanks,
-Steve
