Hi,  
I just upgraded my [VS.Net](http://VS.Net) to 2019 and downloaded the latest windows c++ SDK. I followed the instructions here:  
[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/custom/windows/essential/initialize](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/custom/windows/essential/initialize)

From integrating to initializing, however, I am stuck at the stage when I write this code and it says unidentified …

```auto
IZoomInstantSDK* m_pInstantSDK;
m_pInstantSDK = CreateZoomInstantSDKObj();

```

It seems there are missing libraries in my SDK version?

Hey @moe,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

The code above is actually for the Fully Customizable SDK. Are you looking for the Client SDK instead?

Thanks!  
Michael

Thank you, yes the client is what I am looking for.

Hey @moe,

I see, please see the documentation here: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/windows/overview](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/windows/overview) to start implementing the Client Windows SDK. Please let us know if you run into any issues.

Thanks!
