I'm using VS8 and same issue

Moved these to the bottom -
under tools -> options : VC++ Directories
$(WindowsSdkDir}bin
$(FrameworkSdkDir}bin

And also under
Show
: Executable
: Include Files
: Library

- still the same failures.

Just exactly what Include directories does VC++ show, when you look at
Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories ?

I have VC++ 2008, and I have four Include dirs:

$(VCInstallDir)include
$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include
$(WindowsSdkDir)\include
$(FrameworkSDKDir)include

and I'm compiling the RTS-SK ok.

After 8+ hours of trying to make it work - I re-downloaded it from GG and realized I had an old code base!

I had purchased TGE + RTS kit years back, and had neglected to DL latest versions of code.

When I got the latest version, it builds fine -- so no point in troubleshooting why it didnt work.

Now, onto adding as much functionality as possible in 6 weeks -- using the RTS kit for my class project.

@Dewaldt I think it'd be better just to post questions to the forums where everyone can benefit from them. Plus I often can't actually remember specific details about the standard RTS-SK because my code base has become very different (it's been evolving a long time), and other people can often answer better.
