-The Microsoft Visual C++ 2003 compiler is freely available in the [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/|Visual C++ 2003 toolkit]], and so are some .libs not included with the toolkit (namely msvcrt.lib) with the [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/default.aspx#.NET%20Framework%201.1%20Downloads|.NET Framework SDK 1.1]]. You can use these to set up the MSVC7.1 compiler with the MSVC6 IDE if you wish. Be warned though, the MSVC6 debugger is not compatible with the MSVC7.1 compiler's pdb files. Alternate freely available debuggers you can use are the [[http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx|Debugging Tools for Windows]], or [[http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/visualc/|Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express]].

 === Platform SDK ===
-Not usually required, but recommended is the current [[http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/|Microsoft Platform SDK]]. Beware, the current version of the Platform SDK is not compatible with MSVC6.

 You should extract the UI Extension archive to the foobar2000\ui_extension sub-directory of your SDK root folder. You should then proceed to insert the ui_extension project into your workspace, and add it as a dependency of your project.
