Problem building NSIS on MSVS 6
Hi,
I just installed MSVS 6 on my virtual machine and when I try to compile NSIS, I get:

I installed service pack 6 of MSVS6. I installed Toolkit 2003. I believe it should be able to compile no problem, no?

Any help would be wonderful here.

Nevermind. Installing SDK fixed it. Sorry!

VC6 out of the box is way too old, the NSIS docs has a section with build instructions and SDK links. Any SDK that defines DLGPROC as returning BOOL and not INT_PTR is too old...

yes Anders I wandered across the building instructions for vs6. Should have been common sense to install the SDK first though :(!

much thanks mate
