adding earthlib as reference in c++

[averageGuy]

Hi, i know in C#, adding earthlib as a reference/header/dll is a breeze, but i have been unfruitful in including it in c++.

i managed to open the object browser and loaded the earthlib via custom component set. and i added the reference search path to .../google/google earth where googleearth.exe was but it wont let me add reference with the following error...

am i doing it wrong? im using MS visual studio 2008...

i've also tried to compile the earth.idl file from both sources (com api website & extracted from oleview from googleearth.exe). both yeids errors i cant understand. I followed the steps to compile from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164149. nothing works.. shucks...

This will probably not be much help but...

my guess, from your image, is that your project is not .net so I don't think making a reference to earthlib will help.

I think that you would have look into COM
