Installation on Vista

What I’m trying to do: Use openGL

What I’ve done:
Installed Visual C++ 2008 express edition
Downloaded glu32.dll, glu32.lib, and glu.h

I have:
Windows Vista 64 bit with Service Pack 1
C:\WINDOWS\System32\ OpenGL.dll
glu32.dll, glu32.lib, and glu.h are sitting on my desktop

My problem is:
I keep finding that I’m supposed to download other files to go with the Visual C++ (such as glu32.dll, glu32.lib, and glu.h). I have these files, but I don’t know where to put them. Also, I’m not sure if these are all the files I need (some sources don’t mention other files, some sources advise loading many files). I tried to use Visual C++ earlier today, but couldn’t get it to work as expected, so I uninstalled it and tried again.
I’ve tried

What I’m asking for:
Does anyone have EXTREMELY clear directions for the GLU files associated with Visual C++ 2008 express edition that are compatible with Windows Vista 64 bit? I’m very new to this side of computers (usually I write code on programs given to me by my teachers) so I’m looking for something fool proof, if it’s out there.

Thanks,
Lucy

Why do you need to download glu32.* files?
glu32.dll already comes with OS. And lib/h files comes with Visual Studio 2008 EE.

When I build lesson1 from http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=01 I get the following messages:

I thought this would have something to do with the glu files. If it doesn’t, do you have any other suggestions?

Read warning/error messages more carefully!

Add directive to ‘stdafx.h’ or rebuild precompiled header

fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add ‘#include “stdafx.h”’ to your source?

Simply disable precompiled headers in Project Settings, or do what error message tells you.
