Don't ever replace/modify the system header files, instead simply get a complete SDK, which is guaranteed to be compatible with your compiler.
Okay so i have windows XP, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition, what SDK do i need?
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

With MSVC 6.0, the latest Windows SDK that can be used is the Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK
Either switch to that old SDK or get e.g. a VS Express edition, which works with your current SDK.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
Depends on what you are trying to do. The compiler contains everything you need to write simple gui programs using win32 api functions. If you want MFC then you can't use the Express edition at all because it doesn't support MFC. If you want something beyond the basic gui functions then you probably should download the entire Windows Platform SDK, which is quite large.

Umm, maybe you misunderstood me (?). I was not trying to say that MSVC 6.0 cannot be used on Windows versions later than "Windows Server 2003".
Instead, I was trying to say that the "Windows Server 2003 Platform SDK" is the last SDK version that is compatible and works with MSVC 6.0.
