Hey guys. I need to compile some project. I installed Visual C++ 6.0 + Microsoft Platform SDK 2003 from there http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en#requirements
I also added SDK paths under Tools->Options->Directories and moved them to top.
But I am still getting this errors when compiling...
c:\users\admin\downloads\microsoft visual c++ 6.0 standard edition\vc98\include\new(9) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'exception': No such file or directory
And
c:\users\admin\downloads\microsoft visual c++ 6.0 standard edition\vc98\include\ios(9) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'streambuf': No such file or directory
Anyone got some idea?
The only reason to download an old compiler version like VC6 would be you need to rebuild a project developed for that exact version. But this code clearly isn't.
Try it with the latest Visual C++, which is 2010 as Andre commented.
Note: The Feb 2003 SDK, the last one compatible with VC6, is available on MSDN.

Platform SDKs have been free for quite a few years now, some links are provided in this thread and seem to still be live.
