Well, I spent more time with it without luck - however, it appeared to be due to the fact that neither the free VC 2003 toolkit nor the .NET toolkit have a version of windows.h Ah. You need, of course, the platform SDK as well (downloadable only with internet exploder).

Ah, that's probably why I was having so much trouble finding that one (I was using Firefox).

(I was sure I'd seen the platform SDK available for download at some point, but had no luck finding it again. So thanks for the link!)

Well, maybe I'll give it another try at some point when I'm taking a break from trying to persuade Fedora to talk to all the builtin devices in my notebook ;)

(Besides, it would give me the ability to test changes on Windows, even if most of my development ends up being on Fedora)

Cheers, Nick.
