cannot open input file 'user32.lib'


what do you think does that mean?

[Dotten]

that it can't open the file, but how do i fix it, i have tryed everything i can think of

you must have the plattform sdk installed and then link the path to the lib folder: go to tools-options and follow the screenshot to add the folder:



user32.lib is there, believe me.
