How to compile a .dll with Visual c++ Express?

Hello
I just want to know how to compile a .dll I know how it should work in Visual C++ Express Edition 2005 (so that the result is a .dll).
I tried it just with the step 2 .cpp. But it is always said that it is something missing: SDK/Foobar.h and so on.
I counldn't find out what exactly I must do.
So I guess I have to load  all Headers and cpp files to compile.

But I really don`t know what to do.

Please give me some advise.

You must enter the path to the missing .h :

Go into project/properties/configuration properties/C++. Enter your path in the "Additional include directory" box. Path relative to you project.

Same for .lib in linker/Input

rereading your post you probaly put the test2 project in the wrong dir: should be:

Code: [Select]
foobar2000
          foo_tutorial1
          SDK

Thanks a lot for answering 
I do read the tutorial readme and have the exakt structure like it is written in there 

The only that is still missing I think is the Windows SDK. I must install it.
But how must I add this to my projekt? Mustn't I ? I have no idea.
