QuickWin Compile Errors in Visual Studio 2008

[oldbritthumper]

Hello, When I try to build the QuickWin source (download link: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/quickwin.aspx) I get some errors. I *have* done it (built it the same way) several years ago using an earlier version of Visual Studio. Looks like it should be easy to overcome, but I'm not sure how to proceed. Here's a good example to start with: c:\projects\quickwin\quickwin\quickwin.h(28) : error C2504: 'CRedirect' : base class undefined And here's the entire build output (BTW, I am *not* worried about warnings.): 1>------ Build started: Project: QuickWin_Project, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ 1>Compiling... 1>cl : Command line warning D9035 : option 'Wp64' has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release 1>QuickTst.cpp 1>c:\projects\quickwin\quicktst\quicktst.cpp(20) : warning C4996: 'gets': This function or variable may be unsafe.

You should post on the articles forum section for a better response. Having said that, where does the CRedirect class reside. You're either missing some file or some path is not set to find the include file. Please check the additional include directories option in the project properties.
