Getting compile errors using VisualStudio 2017 with JUCE version 5.2. I tried all the remedies here: > but none worked. I do have Windows 10 SDK 10.0.16299.0 installed and set Windows Target Platform to that value. This is my first attempt to use JUCE, and I’m not getting anywhere. Any help appreciated. ---

Perhaps your SDK installation is incomplete. is `WinInet.h` located in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0\um`? Try re-downloading it from [here](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk). ---

Also, if you open `juce_BasicNativeHeaders.h`, right click in `#include ` (line #135) and choose `Open Document` (ctrl + shift + G), you should get an error dialog, showing you where VS2017 is looking for that header. For `10.0.15063.0` SDK for instance you will get an error dialog with following search paths ![29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/2X/e/e1ea7b667273590dab13a79cf3a3239c242755c9.png) So is VS2017 definitely looking for include files in the correct place? ---

I had build error after updating to JUCE v5.2. So I installed latest SDK of Win10. And it’s all fine now. ---

I did look in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0\um` and wininet.h wasn’t there. From the install log I saw that when installing the Windows 10 SDK that there was an error. Checked the corresponding Microsoft web page for the corresponding error, but that was no help. I tried reinstalling Windows SDK 10 and VisualStudio 2017 a couple of times as Administrator, but still got the same result (no wininet). And I did use that link provided by ed95, so it’s not a matter of trying to install the right version. Then I thought maybe there was a compatibility issue between the Windows 8.1 OS, which I’m running and the VS2017 and SDK 10 (although it doesn’t appear that there should be per the Microsoft documentation), so I tried to install VisualStudio 2015. It told me that it installed but there were some problems. But the `log` link didn’t work so I couldn’t see any detail. I tried using it on a JUCE example anyway, and got a wininet.h error. So at this point, it looks like some sort of pure Microsoft issue and not a JUCE one. I’m a professional developer on Linux platform, and use cygwin as a hobbyist at home on my Windows PC, so I’ve never used VisualStudio and Microsoft’s development environment before. I would have thought that since they control their own ecosystem, I’d never run into problems like this. Yikes! I know this is out of the JUCE domain now. But if anyone has suggestions though, I’m still willing to follow up on them. Thanks again for the suggestions. ---

Is it possible for you to try older versions of the Windows 10 SDK, or even the Windows 8.1 SDK? You can download them from Microsoft’s archive [here](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive). You’ll need to set the corresponding SDK version in the “Windows Target Platform” field of the VS exporter too: ![21](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/2X/b/b6fd97149d47740cb4a62aa9a09383c34f93600b.png) ---

Is anyone aware of the best SDK to be using to fix this issue? I ran into this problem after going to 5.2 (although admittedly I haven’t used windows in a while). I did a complete reinstall of Visual Studio as I thought that might be the issue. That didn’t solve the problem. I have now tried the latest SDK download (10.0.16299.15) just in case it was a .0 issue but again had no luck. Its also showing that gl/GL.h is missing too. ![Screenshot (52)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/2X/1/1419ca8794324fc14d9683b33611ebd407ec22d6.png) EDIT: I have tried a variety of SDK’s and I still am searching for a solution. ---

I found this topic about gl/Gl.h stuff. > [@Beginner help - gl/Gl.h not found and others. (Windows)](https://forum.juce.com/t/beginner-help-gl-gl-h-not-found-and-others-windows/25104): > > Hi, I’m a beginner trying to get into using Juce so I opened one of the example projects to take a look at the code layout etc but it won’t let me run or build. I then tried just creating empty projects but that won’t work either! I have clean installed Juce and visual studio 2017 twice now and that still won’t fix it. Some help would be appreciated! Here are the errors that I think are stopping the build: It might help your issue. ---

Thanks for the suggestion, sadly it hasn’t helped though. ---

Have you checked this? > [@ed95](#): > > Perhaps your SDK installation is incomplete. is WinInet.h located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.15\um? ---

Winlnet.h is located there. Is it supposed to be wininet or winlnet? ---

It don’t think it matters. Windows won’t care about capitalisation. ---

If you’re using the live-build engine you also need to set the target platform version in the live-build settings here: ![15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/juce/original/2X/a/a7654e9550069f1f84ef8808a86dad992b03e2e3.png) Currently this only supports SDK versions up to 10.0.16299.0 but I will replace it with a text field like in the VS exporters so any SDK version can be entered.
