Hello.
I have the following problem. I installed Platform SDK for Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. That’s working fine …
It’s also not a prob to make a new Win32-Project, after I changed several setting desribed here http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
The problem is when I want to try out the example programs to use with the PlatformSDK, e.g. “cupid” (but also with the other examples)a I cannot “build” anything.. I can try build test.cpp or build whole project or build from new again
a I always get the message " Neues Erstellen ubersprungen: Projekt: CPUID
Alles neu erstellen: 0 erfolgreich, Fehler bei 0, 1 ubersprungen "
= new build was skipped, project CPUID
Build everything from new: 0 succesful, error at 0, 1 skipped”
It’s a German version, but “ubersprungen” means something like “jumped over”, “overjumped” or better “skipped” , the build-process was not executed, but skipped.. And I don’t know why … ! !
Under menu “debug” , I can’t chose anything like “start debugging” or “start without debugging” because the font is just gray. Even when I just open the cupid.sln project file, then the available options under “debug”-menu are already in gray colour. Why is the Build process always being skipped As I said before, I can create a new Win32-application without problems and build it and run it, e.g. then a simple windows is opening. So why do these examples (like cupid) not work
By the way I use Platform SDK RC2 , but also with SP1 the problem stays the same…
Maybe someone can help me, please !
Thanks in advance
Greetings, Kai

PlatformSDK --> can't BUILD "cpuid"-example --> build-process always SKIPPED

I wasted hours wondering why Visual Studio would not build the samples. It would be nice if somebody modified the sample solutions so they had the 'release' and 'win32' options correctly selected. It is not intuitive to check these when the compiler simply reports 'Skipped Rebuild All'.

The problem seems to be caused by the solution defaulting to build the Debug Itanium config.
In the visual studio toolbar, change "Debug" to "Release" and "Itanium" to "Win32" (for the English version anyway
).
