slightly OT: missing windows.h/afxwin.h--how do I get them?

Hi,

I know this is off-topic, but I'm trying to compile some of
the Python
COM examples (and some other COM code) with the latest
Visual C++
Express Edition, and it's complaining that it can't find
the headers
'windows.h' and 'afxwin.h'.  It's been several years
since I used VC++,
but these files seem fundamental, as best as I can recall. 
I did a
search and they aren't present on my machine anywhere. 
Googling isn't
turning up anything helpful either.

What am I missing?  How can I get the basic headers and
libraries
necessary to do Windows development?

Thanks for your help,
Mike

I'm surprised windows.h doesn't come with Express Edition
- but I'm fairly
sure it comes with the "platform sdk" - which is
necessary for many of the
modules anyway.

afxwin.h is an MFC header, and IIUC, that is not available
without the
full-blown MSVC.  This will prevent you building
pythonwin/win32ui - but
should not prevent the COM and win32 packages building...

Cheers,

Mark
