1.5 compile with vs 2005 1 error

First off, I absolutely hate vs2005. It makes no since and is unintuitive. I have however, been able to comple 1.4 and tlk with it. Now, I'm trying to compile 1.5 but get 1 fatal error. I have followed all the instructions for compiling with 2005 express. (same as I did with 1.4) but it refuses to find windows.h
I have the platformSDK includes and Lib included in the path with the compiler.
Here's the steps I took:

downloaded the patch files from tdn
followed directions
added extra includes and libs
added ../example for both working directories
cleaned
build solution

went back to tdn and followed directions for the "Old" build steps.
etc...

Here is the build log

any help would be greatly appreciated.

1.5 works with VC2005 out of the box, try using it without the TDN patches.

Duhh, :blush: I didn't even look to see what project files were there. It does indeed work out of the box. :-)
Thankyou

Actually, it doesn't, if you want to re-compile the tools (map2dif, etc).
The tool lib wasn't properly updated.
