Help please

Hey

Ok recently downloaded MacroQuest 2, and I'm trying to get it to run. I get to the point when I'm about to compile and build the dll's. I'm using Visual C++ 2005. After I select what I want and click build. It fails at compiling all dll's. I get this error:

"fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory"-I get that on every attempt for building the dll's. Now, the strange part is, is that I have the file "windows.h", I did the MS Platform SDK updates, Core SDK and MDAC SDK V2.7. The "windows.h" file is in directory "C:\program files\microsoft SDK\include"...should it be somewhere else? I followed the instructions in the manual that is on www.macroquest2.com.


I also tried it another way, I had a friend of mine send me his folder that had all of the dll's, macroquest 2.exe...etc (everything you would have after building the dll's). Everything went fine, except when I went to run MQ2. I got this error:

"This copy of MacroQuest is not authorized to run on your machine. Please use the MQ2Auth system to correct the problem."-Is this expected? However, they are the exact same files my friend uses to run MQ, and it works fine with no problem...Is there a way around this?

If not I need help with what I said earlier. That "windows.h" file is causing a problem, but I do have the file, but it says it's not there. Please help me out, been trying to get it to work for 13-15 hours now. Please help me anyway you can and/or tell me what the problem is.



Here is the log of what happens when I try to compile:

Hey



"This copy of MacroQuest is not authorized to run on your machine. Please use the MQ2Auth system to correct the problem."-Is this expected? However, they are the exact same files my friend uses to run MQ, and it works fine with no problem...Is there a way around this?
==========

You bother running the MQ2auth before you complied? its little file in your MQ2 directory called M@Qauth.exe

[Wardeth]

I can't use MQ2Auth there because the DLL's there are already compiled. I got the DLL's sent to me from a friend, but it works fine for him. If I were to compile the files myself. It wouldn't work because I get the missing "windows.h" error. But I do have that file, it's just messed up. I dunno whats wrong...maybe im using the wrong compiler program...dunno

[TheNewGuy]

Here at MacroQuest we like to fill everyone's minds with usefull information that'll allow them to run MacroQuest that much smoother. To help out the masses, I'm going to go ahead and reply to the most common things asked or said here on these forums.

1) Q: The Sky Is Falling (Or any sort of post like it)
A: You are a dumbshit.

2) Q: Tin Hats protect yourself from Black Helicopters.
A: You are a dumbshit.

3) Q: Hello, I read RPGExpert.
A: You are a dumbshit.

4) Q: My Father's uncle's friend's daughter twice removed who's dating the Mayor's cousin's sister that once delivered pizza to the President's dad's neighbor who managed to get Macroquest to work gave me files, but it's not working.
A: Both you and the neighbor are dumbshits.

5) Q: I want to (Insert silly hack request here)
A: You are a dumbshit.

6) Q: I've searched for my problem, and can't find it! I swear! I just need a macro that'll (Insert macro for which there's 10 different ones to choose from)
A: You are a dumbshit.

7) Q: I can't read.
A: No kidding? You are a dumbshit.


So - there you have it. I have probably missed a few in there, but I've at least covered a few bases. Now you are wondering what you can do if for some odd reason your question was listed, but the answer was "You are a dumbshit."

Ok, get ready to write this down.

Ready?





Liar, go get a fucking pencil and paper!




Finally ready?




SEARCH FOR IT, DUMBSHIT.

Between you and your friend, you should be able to RTFM and figure out what needs to be done to get authorization working.

If your compiler can't find windows.h, I suspect that it's installed incorrectly, or you're not using the correct project files or somesuch. That include's something that your compiler should be able to find on its own for just about any file you compile, unless it's being told somewhere not to search through the default directories for such things.

Barring that, see TheNewGuy's #4

[EqMule]

Go to your tools->options menu in visual studio and check the directories tab, make sure the path to your include files are in that list.

That wont help u to compile though if u have not run mq2auth as was "pointed out" in the previous posts

[Wardeth]

Ok thanks...is Visual Studio c++ 6.0 or Visual Studio 6.0 free?

I've looked but cant find.
