Hmmm, that says pretty little about what is needed, it just gives some
commands which refer to VC6. Anyway, create a new project, choose 'win32
dynamic link library' and then select 'simple DLL project'. This should
then compile without any further changes and without the SDK. If it
doesn't, something is missing, e.g. an install option of the IDE.

I am using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and have installed the
Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1.

Have you tried without the SDK? It's not a good idea to modify several
things at once and then complain that nothing works anymore.

I did try it without the SDK and it did not work as it was missing the
windows.h header file.

If your normal installation doesn't find the file if you #include
<windows.h> then something is seriously messed up or you simply didn't
install all required parts.
