If you are building VC-WIN32, then you are targeting 32-bit hardware and need to run the x86 Native Tools Command Prompt (not the x64 version). You can't mix and match targets. If you don't want to build it yourself, there are also prebuilt binaries and libraries. -- Thomas Hruska Shining Light Productions Home of BMP2AVI and Win32 OpenSSL. http://www.slproweb.com/
