I am unable to get the Media SDK (2.0 Gold or earlier beta) to compile using Visual C++ 2010 Express. Is this a know limitation in the SDK? I have no problem using the SDK with the commercial non Express version at work. But I also have some pet projects of mine I would like to try out at home using the free Express edition. Any help much appriciated.

mfxSession mfx_Session;
mfxIMPL mfx_IMPL;

mfxStatus mfx_Status = MFXInit( MFX_IMPL_AUTO , 0 , &mfx_Session );
MFXQueryIMPL( mfx_Session , &mfx_IMPL );

if ( mfx_IMPL == MFX_IMPL_SOFTWARE ) OutputDebugString( L" MSDK Software." );
if ( mfx_IMPL == MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE ) OutputDebugString( L" MSDK Hardware." );

MFXClose( mfx_Session );
