No, you need to install the development files.  The packagers at MySQL, 
Inc. keep changing this, so I can't say for certain, but at times the 
development files have been optional.  mysql_version.h is one of those 
files, and it should live in the 'include' directory underneath MySQL's 
Program Files subdirectory.  That's where the distributed project files 
are set to look.

Also note that the version number matters: we ship assuming MySQL 5.0, 
but if you have 5.1, you'll have to change the project files.  Again, 
read README.vc.
