    Problem Compiling Code In Microsoft Visual C++

    Hey there everyone, i will try to be as simple as possible to prevent confusion.

    I have a project named MyProject ok..
    I have a folder with MyProject and includes.h
    I call the includes.h file located in the same folder as MyProject.
    When compiling to .exe i get this error:

    C:\Documents and Settings\*****\Desktop\MyProject\includes.h(18) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windns.h': No such file or directory

    I dont get the error considering includes.h is in that directory but Microsoft Visual C++ just cannot find it.. Why is this? Help is more than appreciated... I think i need the windns.h file which i cannot find, does anybody have it?
    Thanks

    it's in VC6 & VC2003, i found it in both them places on my drive. maybe it's worth checking on the disk for your version of VC if it's in there, or trying a software update on it, to see if it gets included in to your includes folder.
    here's a link for Service Pack 5 & here's a link for Service Pack 6 , those are for Visual Studio 6.
    maybe worth a try doing the upgrade to see if it adds any missing components.
