Win 10 SDK for C Develop

Question
-
Using Visual Studio 2017 to develop C++ Program. Had the C++ program running in Visual Studio C++ 6.0, ran fine. Using the OpenGL library and the following Includes:
Include <windows.h>
Include <gl/gl.h>
Include <gl/glu.h>
Include <gl/glaux.h>
Include <stdio.h>
Include <math.h>
I have posted several questions to these forums, have not got a satisfactory answer that works. The issue is:
When I try to compile under Visual Studio 2017, cannot find the libraries, was told to download the Win 10 SDK, which I did. When I try to install it, the system responds with "access denied, see administrator", I am the administrator, a home user and trying to use the free version of Visual Studio 2017 which runs fine. If this is the free version of the Win 10 SDK, why am I getting the error and cannot install. Any advise will be greatly appreciated, non yet!

Hi stfark.
This question is related to Visual C++ development, so I'd suggest you to ask it in the MSDN Visual C++ Forum or in the Windows Desktop SDK Forum, which could be more appropriate for this kind of topics.
Bye.

I know you first began with this by posting VS 2017 Tools. Then you posted C++ Missing Directives Compilation. You should have followed up in that thread but instead you posted VS 2017 C. You are not telling using anything new about the problem.

Sam Hobbs: The reason that I am re-posting is that I tried to follow up the reply that you sent, did all and still getting the same results, no good answer yet provided, what more can I say. I know you want me to do what you suggested but I did and same result "ACCESS DENIED" with no reason why? Any other ideas? Sid KraftSunday, July 1, 2018 11:03 PM
