I've developed a WinForms .NET 2.0 application that interacts with Office 2003 just fine and now I want to extend its capabilities to Office 2007. Since I want to include the interop assemblies for Office 2007 in the setup project of my application, I tried to compile the Office component checker sample for the primary interop assemblies redistributable packages, just like the documentation indicates (Deploying Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Solutions Using Windows Installer).
Unfortunatelly I get this error message from the .NET Framework SDK v2.0 compiler:
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 14.00.50727.42 for 80x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
ComponentCheck.cpp
ComponentCheck.cpp(14) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory
Do I need to install something besides the .NET Framework SDK v2.0 (for example a Windows SDK) Any ideas
Thanks in advance.
