@ 3d point in space: I got pre existing progams to work in VS 2010 express by excluding a projectname.rc from the project (I still kept the file). I don't have a clue how dangerous this is but it worked.

@ Bjadams: Thanks, worked like a charm.

Well know that i got that done I found a bug where the bitmaps or jpegs dont load in c++. I just get a square with a red x in it. and the files are in the same folder. I even tried to include the hole path to where the image was.

Never mind look at post, make a media file for the program, this will make your program work. Put the folder in the final folder that was created. I show picture of where that folder would be located with reference to the main program.

Visual C++ 2010 Express is part of the Visual Studio 2010 Express family, a free set of tools that Windows developers at any level can use to create custom applications using basic and expert settings. Visual C++ is a powerful language that is designed to give you deep and detailed control when you build either native Windows (COM+) applications or .NET Framework managed Windows applications.

@wownice...... Wow! The information you provide is almost google like! I'd swear you were some sort of evil robot thing!

I am not a C++ coder, but I do have VS2010 Pro (under BizSpark).
If anyone would like to explain exactly how I setup a 2010 project/solution to work with AppGameKit, then I can send the resultant project/solution to whomever needs it.

Going back to Mike Johnson's comment regarding the linker options

* edit project settings and ignore atls.lib and atlsd.lib in the linker

.

If you are using Visual Studio Express 8, you need to separate the lib names by semi-colons. The examples were then compiling ok.
