Question

"Express" version of Visual Studio

My attempts at building the AE 7.0 SDK sample projects have failed miserably, and I'm trying to figure out why.

I see that the SDK requires Visual Studio 2005 .NET.

Should the "Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition" be enough, or do I need the full VS suite to begin my development adventure?

did you install the psdk?
the express version does nothing without the "platform sdk".
if indeed you didn't get that installed then here's the link:

there are a couple of steps that need to follow.
nothing too comlicated. it's all explained here:

as far as i know, that's all you need. (until you try to compile release, but that's another story)
