Reading in wrong file

[Wings]

Hi,
When building in visual studio 2005, there are multiple instances of winuser.h on the machine. I need it to read one instance for a windows CE build but it defaults to the version in the visualstudio/platform/sdk. how do I change it? Please note this is not a path I have added in my project settings, it needs to be changed else where.

So you want to do something like this?

In some files

// file1.cpp
#include <winuser.h>  // for CE

and in other files

// file2.cpp
#include <winuser.h>  // for win32

Which system are you planning to run the resultant executable on?

Thanks for the response.
My issue is that I have the application running fine, but when I check it into and then pull it down from our source control system the version of winuser.h it points to is incorrect. I need to know where visual studio sets these paths. I am going to run the end resut on windows ce.

I guess the question is: How does windows decide what version of Winuser.h to use when I dont specify the path myself anywhere?

If you open a command prompt, and type 'set', do you see INCLUDE and LIB amongst the list of environment names?

> set
ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=x86
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=x86 Family 15 Model 104 Stepping 1, AuthenticAMD
PROCESSOR_LEVEL=15
PROCESSOR_REVISION=6801

If you go to the root (or root\bin) directory of each of the installed compilers, do you see something like "VCVARS.BAT" ?
Just search for .BAT files, then look at those which may suggest 'vars'.
