I have upgraded my C++ project from Visual Studio.Net 2003 to VS2005 and
cannot compile it. The compiler cannot find many .h files (e.g. amvideo.h)
that used to be in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK".
For some reason VS2005 does not contain Platform SDK. Is it replaced with
something?

Here's the latest Platform SDK that I can see:

I have a previous version installed in directory
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK
for use with VC++6 and VC++7.1, though for some reason I didn't notice yet
if VC++8 is using it.

VC++8 includes some kind of SDK which I have in this directory:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0
but as you say, that isn't the Platform SDK.

I have a ton of headers in this folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include
