[python-win32] slightly OT: missing windows.h/afxwin.h--how do I get them?

Hi,

I know this is off-topic, but I'm trying to compile some of the Python
COM examples (and some other COM code) with the latest Visual C++
Express Edition, and it's complaining that it can't find the headers
'windows.h' and 'afxwin.h'.  It's been several years since I used VC++,
but these files seem fundamental, as best as I can recall.  I did a
search and they aren't present on my machine anywhere.  Googling isn't
turning up anything helpful either.

What am I missing?  How can I get the basic headers and libraries
necessary to do Windows development?

Thanks for your help,
Mike
