I'm using C++ 2005 express edition and I have the platform SDK when I tried to compile a simple windows code, I got this:



What do I need to do to solve these external symbol conflicts?

You need to ensure that you have VC++ configured correctly so that it can find the library files, because it looks like you don't at the moment.

... or it might be that you haven't added the library names to the project.

would running VC++ 2005 on vista have anything to do with it? and what lib files do i need to add to the linker? Also, I thought that it would add the libs automatically, But since this isn't 2003, i could be wrong

I had this problem

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/express/aa700755.aspx

This page explains how to correct it.

One thing - to make the changes in Steps 4 and 5 on vista, you have to run notepad or other text editor as an admin first before it will let you save the changes

Hope this helps,

Andrew
