Hello,
My ignorance on the subject and my bad english, may explain a topic off-topic.
From what I understood, It was not possible to use Visual C + + express with the SDK, because this version does not come with the MFC and don't support it.
While surfing, I found a link that explains How to compile MFC code in Visual C++ Express :.
I do not know if it's useful, and if it is sufficient to create plugins for AM ( I do not know Visual Basic C + + express, C++, and neither the SDK), but by ignorance and by any chance, I give the link.

Thanks!

I was attempting to learn c and had recently installed express here but the tutorials slightly skip steps. If you use the same tutorial to bake a cake it would start you off cracking a couple of eggs then how to cut the cake up and serve it, nothing in the middle.
