I have sucessfully downloaded and installed vc++ express and registered it. I want to develop a graphical win32 app but there is no standard project template to do this. I read an article saying i should download PSDK so i have done that i downloaded x86 version and have sp2 and fully updated winxp about 2/3 through installation i get the error 1330 C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI67.tmp invalid digital siginal corrupt cabinet file. Plz help. I am a new programmer and am a student at high school in the UK we dont use vc++ at school and only program in basic but would like to develop visual applications for windows and heard vc++ is the best around.
Thx Alex

That's the link to my original problem, it goes a little further in detail about what I actually did to get it up and running, best of luck.

Three somewhat disconnected observations...
1) There's a newer Platform SDK available. You might have more success installing it.
2) After you install the PSDK and make the other changes described in Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK you'll be able to create Windows applications but there won't be any support for MFC. Creating graphical Windows applications without using MFC is certainly feasible but you are working at a much lower level.
3) If you are willing to create a CLR project (managed code) and deal with the C++ managed code extensions, creating a Windows Forms Application might be a quicker route to a working graphical application.
You get the RAD benefits of working with a form designer and the productivity gains that come from using the .NET framework classes. Altogether you may find this an easier way to get a graphical program running while still using the C++ language.

The "... corrupt cabinet file..." error makes it sound like perhaps you have a bad download of the Platform SDK. Did you download/install it from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en or from somewhere else
I know the page above says "Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK" but don;t worry, it works for Windows XP as well.
You could try donloading/installingthe PSDK again (not an ideal answer if you have a slow Internet connection).
