IE 5.5 Headers And Libraries
Microsoft® is constantly upgrading their Shell and Common Control
libraries. These typically come with new versions of the Internet
Explorer®.
Recently, Microsoft added many new APIs to the Shell Light-Weight
API (shlwapi) library. However when you download Internet Explorer
and get the new libraries, you can not take advantage of the new APIs
provided. This is because you are still using the old header files and
import libraries that were originally delivered with Visual Studio.
In order to use the new APIs in your application, you will have to update the
headers and libraries on your development machine.
If you are running Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/NT 4.0, first download and
install the Microsoft Windows Installer:
Windows
Installer version 1.2 for Windows 95 and Windows 98 (1.4 MB)
Windows
Installer version 1.2 for Windows NT (1.4 MB)
Then you will want to install the latest Internet
Explorer 5.5 and Internet Tools. Once you've done this, you will need
to obtain the Win32
Headers and Libraries for Windows 2000. After you've performed this
step, then obtain the Internet
Explorer 5.5 Headers and Libraries.
The following site provides instructions on how to determine what version of
Shell and Common Controls libraries you have:
