SDK Versions

My hard drive array failed a little while back (I don't remember the timeframe off-hand) and I had to get new hard drives. Because of that, I have lost the source code. I would like to start working with it again, but I have a question. Are there specific versions of the DirectX and Windows SDKs required to use the code or will the latest ones [such as the Windows SDK for Windows 8] work?

Why don't you just try it? Then you'll know.

I don't think the Windows SDK for Win8 would be any different from the older releases. But as LPChip says, try it, then you'll know. I don't even think that you'll have to install these SDKs separately anymore, at least if you use VS2010 Professional or better.

Saga Musix makes a good point. Installing Visual Studio 2010 might install the Windows and DirectX SDKs automatically. If it does, then I would need to install only the ASIO and VST SDKs manually.

When compiling ModPlug Tracker's code, I am receiving the following error: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'winapifamily.h': No such file or directory
When adding it, I am presented many syntax errors.
I never had to add that file before. What did I do wrong? Do note that I have tried the Windows SDK for both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and receive the same result. I am using Visual Studio Professional 2008 and revision 792 of the code.

Not an OpenMPT problem.

Thanks
Should changing the path remove the syntax errors though or should I still see them? As I mentioned in the earlier post, I never received errors regarding that file before today.

OpenMPT never includes that file by itself so it must be a wrongly installed SDK. And an include that cannot be found is not a syntax error, it's simply a compile error because a required component cannot be located. You will be on your own here because as said, it's not an OpenMPT error.
