Hey Rabal,

You can use either VS 2005 or 2008, I would personally use 2008 just
because the IDE is less buggy (or so it seems). You will also need to
install the full platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2,

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=484269E2-3B89-47E3-8EB7-1F2BE6D7123A&displaylang=en

That's the one I use anyway. Once you have it installed you will need
to compile the DirectShow base classes manually within the folder,

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses

But in order to do this you will need to create the project etc. So I
would suggest just letting me know when you have it installed and I will
email you a ZIP containing the BaseClasses folder that you can just
overwrite which will contain the Debug and Release Unicode builds of the
base classes.

Once this is done you will need to configure VS 2008 C++ Directories so
that the Platform SDK directories are at the top. i.e.

Executables

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Bin\winnt
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin

Includes

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Include
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses

Libraries

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses\Debug_Unicode
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses\Release_Unicode

---

Also depending on what you are doing you may well need to install the
DirectX SDK too, I am currently using December 2006 release, the paths for
this go just under the platform SDK folders.

Why isn't it simpler I hear you ask?... haha

Anyway this is what I'm doing to develop DirectShow filters in VC++.

Nick.
