Development using Windows & MSN Messenger from C++

[Michael Malinak]

I'm currently trying to write an application that uses Windows Messenger
(and MSN messenger) from C++. All of the MSDN documentation refers to
msgrua.h and msgrua.idl (and various other dispatch headers), yet these are
nowhere to be found.
Whats up with that? We don't seriously have to use IUnknown's and figure
out everything for ourselves do we?
Everything is easy to use from .NET languages, why so difficult from C++?

I am facing the same problem. In my case, I'm looking for msgrpriv.h.
Does anyone out there know where to get these files??
