	Although VS8 is not officially supported and no official
binaries are released built with that version, you should find the CVS
version of pywin32 builds cleanly with VS8, even if you target x64.

	 

	Cheers,

I downloaded the CVS tree on Nov 9th, and I am building with that. 
 
How does LPCWSTR relate to Py_UNICODE?

cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Py_UNICODE *' to 'LPCWSTR'

	I am compiling the win32 extensions on 32 bit windows using
Microsoft Visual Studio 8 (AKA .Net 2005)

	 

	I have had some problems with paths, but managed to solve these
by manually adding paths to the registry.

	 

	(I am puzzled that dsound.h appears in the SDK for ce, but not
the regular SDK.)

	 

	I am now stumped by these (related) compile errors.

	 

	win32apimodule.cpp
	win32/src/win32apimodule.cpp(1266) : error C2664:
'GetFileAttributesW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'Py_UNICODE *' to
'LPCWSTR'
	        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires
reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
	win32/src/win32apimodule.cpp(1451) : error C2664:
'PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'wchar_t
[260]' to 'const Py_UNICODE *'
	        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires
reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
	win32/src/win32apimodule.cpp(1975) : error C2664: 'DWORD
(LPCWSTR,LPWSTR,DWORD)' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'Py_UNICODE *'
to 'LPWSTR'
	        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires
reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

	 

	Are these new errors in Visual Studio 8?
