The build environment (headers, libraries, and minimum build  
tools) for the Platform SDK must be installed in order to build  
any of the samples in the \Mssdk\Samples\WinUI directory. The  
most recent version of the build environment is available at  
http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/platform.htm.  
Some components may also require you to install runtimes, depending  
on the platform on which you are trying to run the sample.  
Redistributables are available in the \Mssdk\Redist subdirectory  
on the Platform SDK compact disc.  
 
Documentation for the components listed above can be installed  
from the Platform SDK compact disc, or can be viewed online at  
http://premium.microsoft.com/msdn/library/. This is a FREE service;  
registration is necessary. 
 
If you do not see any subdirectories in the \Mssdk\Samples\WinUI  
node, you'll need to install the Windows Base Services Samples  
component from the Platform SDK compact disc or download and  
install them from http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/platform.htm.
