Building w/ VS2005 Express

wx: 2.8.0 - just downloaded.  (The msw setup, not CVS)
Platform: Win XP,  VS 2005, Express

I'd appreciate some help with the following simple problems:

1) I've been getting error messages of failure to open windows.h.

I have read install.txt, and Vadim's helpful replies in a thread about 
this last December.  I read the FAQ, and have failed to link to the wiki 
(from there, and from the link on the wxWidgets home page).  The folder 
include/wx/msw has currently both a setup0.h and setup.h already, 
without my having to do any explicit edits or copy.  Is this correct?

The FAQ mentions adding an include path.  I'm familiar with how to do 
this for a VC++ project, but not a whole solution.

Also, would all the settings - e.g. wxUSE_GUI - be common, for the whole 
library?

2) ISTR setting up one or two environment variables, e.g. WXWIN in 
previous builds of wxWidgets.  Have I simply missed this in the 2.8.0 
documentation; or is this not now required?

I apologise for the simple nature of these problems.

TIA
