Note: If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio Professional, there is no need to apply any of the steps listed below.

The following install packages are required:

	ISO	IMG
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition	download	download
Microsoft ® Windows Server® 2003 R2 Platform SDK	download	download

Steps:

1. Microsoft VCEE

1.1. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

1.2. Start the IDE and follow the instructions from the start page.

2. Platform SDK

2.1. Install Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK

2.2. Follow the instructions to add your source, include and library paths (Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories) and modify corewin_express.vsprops file.

2.3. Add the additional include directory : $(platformsdkdir)\\Include\\atl, where $(platformsdkdir) is where your SDK is installed. You can set an environment variable in vsvars32.bat to reflect that.

2.4. Modify the following in the atlbase.h (the file should reside in $(platformsdkdir)\\Include\\)

Starting at line 287 in the original file:

/*
PVOID __stdcall __AllocStdCallThunk(VOID);
VOID __stdcall __FreeStdCallThunk(PVOID);

#define AllocStdCallThunk() __AllocStdCallThunk()
#define FreeStdCallThunk(p) __FreeStdCallThunk(p)

#pragma comment(lib, "atlthunk.lib")
*/

#define AllocStdCallThunk() HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, sizeof(_stdcallthunk))
#define FreeStdCallThunk(p) HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, p)

2.5. It is a very good idea to try to create and build a simple Win32 project in order to verify that all the modifications undertaken are in place.

3. Service Packs

3.1. Download Visual C++ 2005 Express SP1
