Support for Microsoft windows Vista SDK

Hi

like i wrote the Dialogblocks coder , there is a new windows vista sdk which has the compiler already with it. This is a nice free alternative to VC studio stuff and seems ho have a newer compiler than the Toolbox 2003. Dialogblocks now supports this compiler without asking if the path is correct (but it already worked without spezial support). Now i treid to use the Visual Toolbox 2003 entry and change its pathes to the Windows SDK pathes:

C:\Programme\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0

Toolchains: C:\Programme\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\VC\Bin

but it didn't work quite right because the parameter seemed to be wrong ( /Og is deprechate and so on, and the linker gafe the use link.exe --help message)

I din't trie to alter the Visual Studio 8 path whitch might work , because i still want to use this one too, so a New compiler preset would be nice ;).

here is the name of my SDK version: 6.0.6000.0.0.WindowsSDK_Vista_rtm.DVD.Rel.img

hope to see this feature fast , because a lot of users wouldbe able to compiler new VC Studio projects for free i think ^^ also you automatically have the newest windows sdk which will result in less compilation errors .

Ah i forgot to mention , OF course I DON'T work WITH VISTA, this sdl runns fine with XP too, the compiler supports it all, xp vista 32 bit and 64 bit ;)

Please note that the compiler that is shipped with the latest SDK contains the VC8 compiler. So you should modify the VC8 compiler, not VC 7.1 compiler.

I expected that, but anyway having a preset would be much easyer than changing all the pathes (one path would be ok Dialogblocks handles everything on its own then). But i agree the fastes way NOW is to change the VC8 compiler and only use the sdk and not VC Studio 8 and the SDKs compiler.

Auto-detection of the latest Platform SDK has been added to MSVC 2005 compiler.
