Even if you don't plan to develop, just the act of downloading and compiling can uncover problems. If the version you download doesn't build on your platform, file a bug.
Installing windows core development tools and libraries
- Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional
- Microsoft Platform SDK
- DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (Summer 2003)
- Set up the project globals:
- Start Visual C++
- Go to Tools/Options/Projects/VC++ Directories
- Make sure that the includes and libraries paths have the DirectX SDK paths first, then the Platform SDK paths, and then the Visual C++ paths.
