Why is it that the zip file of sample vc++ projects will not extract
properly. When I extract one folder at a time, the project still won't
compile. Is there somewhere else that I can get those sample files?

Which sample are you trying to extract. I've never seen that problem. Is
this something new with VS 2008? Do you have the link where you're
downloading the new samples?

The link is found in the Help menu of VS2008 . . . the samples item. It
leads to this url: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/bb330936.aspx. . . .
the c++ samples. I download it and save the file vc_samples.exe. When I
run the file it installs the files. Maybe I accessed the wrong files.
Where does that install the files?

I found the samples in two different places: (1) in the Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Samples folder, and (2) in My
Documents\Visual Studio 2008 Samples folder. Neither of them give a
complete set of the Polygon project. That's under ATL\Controls.

I tried extracting the zip file and got an exception error. It says the
extraction wizard of Explorer.EXE is the one that got the error.
