What's the limitation in express edtion?

Hi All,
If I use express edtion, can I still develop directX game program?

If yes, what's the limitation?
Best regards,
Boki.

Express edition doesn't include MFC or ATL. Just about everything else you
can get from the Windows SDK, including all the Direct-X libraries, headers,
etc.

Hi Boki,
here is a comparison table for the different VC editions:

As Carl already indicated, you have to download the Platform SDK and DirectX
SDK yourself because they are not included with the express edition by
default.
