I have downloaded the add-on development kit for AC12. i have tried to build the examples with visual C++ 2005 express edition and i get the following error:

Take a look at your Solution Properties - browse into the C/C++/Preprocessor settings. The setting "Ignore Standard Include Path" should be 'No'.

I do not believe that the Windows SDK is part of the Express download. If Ralph's suggestion does not resolve things for you, you may have to follow the links on the Express-related and/or MSDN web pages for the SDK download. (You will not need MFC.)

Please post how how you resolve things.

I am using Visual C++ 2005 express for AC 12 DevKit without problems.
As Karl said, Windows SDK is not a part of the Express download. You need some extra steps after installation.
Look at links below for more info:
