unmanaged dll in VS2005 Express?

Hi all

I would like to know if it is possible to build a dll with VS2005 C++
Express Edition, that is unmanaged, and that is not dependent on the .NET
framework.
So the dll should be able to run on a machine that doesn’t have the .NET
framework installed. Is that possible or would I need VS6.0 to do that?

If it isn't possible with the Express Edition, can I do it with the Pro or
Standard Edition?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Mimeo

No, you don't need VC6.
In general you need to install the PSDK
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

and modify some files in "Visual Studio 8" directory
(I could not find a description at the moment... maybe some other has a
link to an english escription)...

Yes.
If you want to create a dll that uses the windows apis, you have to install
the platform SDK.
See

for more details.

Completely unrelated to the OP's question, but since it's mentioned
on that page: how exactly would you use WTL without ATL?

I wouldn't - I'd use ATL that comes with Platform SDK instead. It's all
discussed in WTL list (I'm not taking part in these discussions; in fact I do
not even use WTL)

I see. I doubt that this is really a useful solution, but then I see how it
could possibly work in theory...

Thanks.
