OK. I think this could be be made a lot clearer, perhaps it should read: In addition to the paths specified in step 3 of the Platform SDK installation instructions, you must also add the following path for 'include files'.

Did you follow the installation instructions for that? Yes, I believe so, 1. Install Visual C++ 2005 Express. 2. Install Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2005 Service Pack 1. 3. Install the Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK, then follow steps 2 and 3 of "How to: Use Visual C++ Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK." And that's it, up until the extra path that must be included, but does not exist on my machine. > > - Maciej > > -- Regards Jack _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
