Linker Error on 1st Project after VC++ Express Installation

Greetings. I'm new to Visual Studio and just installed VC++ Express Edition. Following the installation instructions, I edited the several configuration files then tried compilation of the test project to verify path settings. I receive a fatal error from the linker, "unable to open advapi.lib", and indeed I am unable to find this file on my system. I do have, however, advapi32.lib, and I did include the name of that file when editing corewin_express.vprops according to the installation instructions. I would be grateful for any help that lets me get this software running...

Regards,
Joe

    Try changing your project settings so they link to the file you have, perhaps it's just a typo.
