 List of problems and possible workarounds:
  1. It does not include the Platform SDK (PSDK), however the express edition installation guide urge you to install it. If you didn't start here: [[BR]] http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/usingpsdk/
- 1. It does not include the ATL headers and libraries. [[BR]]A possible workaround could be to point VirtualBox to the ATL headers and libraries that's shipped with the Windows DDK. Since the version there is older than the one VirtualBox is developed with, and could be that one day our C++ guys start using features not present. Should that happen, please let us know. [[BR]]To tell the build system where to find the ATL headers and libraries append the following lines to your {{{Config.kmkconf}}} or {{{Config.kmklocal}}} file:

-    (It is also possible to omit the code which makes use of the ATL headers/libraries, however this means disabling so much that you'll end up with only the VBoxBFE.exe front end.)
+    Another option is to disable the components that depends on the ATL headers / libraries. Unfortunately quite a bit will have to be disabled (the only front end left will be VBoxBFE for instance). Add the following to your {{{Config.kmkconf}}} or {{{Config.kmklocal}}} file:
