Yes, I  had the express beta version of VC++, but something weird happened 
with my installation, so I've uninstalled it for the moment.

I assume, It should have found <windows.h> implicit from it's own 
installation directory. Correct?
Next, I searched for it, and found it. Then I thought, I had to upgrade with 
the newest VC++ october TCP installation. But with the result that windows.h 
file has disappeared. I ripped off VC++ ;-)

I'll try later with a fresh installation.

Yes, it should find windows.h with the default configuration.  But you 
have to be suspicious of beta code that Microsoft gives out for free.  
It might just be very buggy, or it might be deliberately crippled.  
Considering the price tag on Visual Studio, it's one or the other (and 
probably both).

Out of curiosity, did it accept the solution and project files as is, or 
did it want to "upgrade" them?  If the latter, I cannot accept any 
patches for those files because they would break VC++ 7.1 (which in turn 
broke 7.0, which in turn broke 6.x).

For a month ago I was at a .NET seminar hosted by MS and the spokesman said, 
you should be cautios with beta software. They don't delibrately cribble the
software, but sometimes, depending on the scope of the build, known errors 
e.t.c., they disable known buggy or other functionality.

And I did take it that way.

No, it didn't take the project files out of the box. It insisted to upgrade 
the soulution and project files.
