Are you sure its not just the PATH variable that has messed up? Have you tried searching your whole HDD for windows.h?

are you using vc6 ? vc.net ?
did you loose windows.h in the SDK or in vc6 ?
Yep. I even reinstalled windows.
When I'd done so, I connected to the internet and immediately got one of those RPC-exploiting worms (well a few actually - a few different strains of Welchia and a couple of Blasters). I installed Norton AV and after enabling the WinXP firewall managed to get on long enough for Norton to get a new VDF and for me to log on to Symantec and download the fixers, I was able to fix the worm.
Doing chkdsk before I did this said there was errors on the drive. This was the case even after running a scheduled chkdsk /F on startup, but now after reinstalling Windows and fixing the viruses chkdsk tells me there are no errors. I then reinstalled the SDK in 'fix' mode as described in the 'repairSDK.htm' file, which said to launch setup.exe with some command line parameters which included an msi file or something. While it was doing so, Norton real-time protection detected a worm. Not a good sign you might say! I'm going to do a fresh download of the SDK, a fresh scan, restart, and then reinstall the SDK from scratch.
I then phoned Microsoft in desparation but they wanted £185 to answer a support question. If the reinstall of the newly-downloaded SDK on my rebuilt, disk-checked, virus-scanned PC still doesn't restore the windows header files, then I'm just going to have to draw the only conclusion I see possible from this woeful tale, which is that Microsoft are simply incapable of putting out free software that works, and simply use Borland instead.
I'm using SDK v1.1. See also reply to Skute.

However, the service still shows under Services, but the .exe is gone.

Hi -
I am trying to move some of my web apps from my development machine
running XP PRO SP2 to one of our Windows 2000 server boxes. I have
created a new site for each of the apps and am using Host Headers to
differentiate between them all.
In IIS, if I redirect to another server running Windows 2003 Server,
the 2.0 applications work very well.

Hi all,
I've always wondered why os.kill isn't supported on Windows. I found a
discussion somewhere from 2006 about this so it seems others have
wanted it, but still nothing. So I have a half-baked solution
involving calling "taskkill" on Windows Vista or "tskill" on Windows
XP via the shell. I feel there has to be a better way.
I'm also fairly confused about when I've got an ID and when I've got a

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
