  The Platform SDK is not part of Visual C++ Express.
  You have to download the current Platform SDK to use it.

  Again, thanks for the reply. But what is a MSDN abo and what does it do Also, how much cash is this going to cost me
  
  Im a small independant developer who works with straight c/c++ and DDK/SDK. The only reason I feel the need to upgrade is because the later SDKs don't work with my registered version of MSVC ( v6 ). I would hate to have to pay thousands of dollars to upgrade my compiler just because the newer SDKs are not backwards compatable.
  
  Like I said before, I am not going to be a very happy customer if I have to do with an IDE that doesn't have the integrated documentation.

  Thanks for the reply. However, how do you access the SDK documentation from within Visual C++ using context sensative help Please tell me there is a way to do this.
  
  Im used to MSVC Pro Version 6 which shipped with an older version of the SDK and the integrated docs. Having them together saves soooo much time. Microsoft wouldn't expect someone to pay for the IDE and then have to flip back and forth between it and the SDK documentation while coding would they

  VC6 is no longer supported. So you don't need to wonder that the official SDK only supports the newer versions of the VS series.

  Also the higher MSDN abos contain the MSDN library that is a the complete online docs integrated into the VS IDE.
  And the all higer MSDN abos include a version of the current Visual Studio versions and in the archive section also access to the previous versions.
