C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\shobjidl.h(9315) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'IXMLDOMDocument'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include\shobjidl.h(9424) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier 'IXMLDOMDocument'

include\shobjidl.h

it looks like you have a syntax error some where close to where the included file is(that is where an object that uses that file) , i don't know what that include file is used for and if you don't know, try looking for syntax errors through your .h and .c files from before your last build.

[joe_stoll]

is this include file something you made? look through this file for a syntax error.

no , "shobjidl" is not a header i created.... its probably included in "shlobj.h"

a friend compiled the same project using VC 2008 without any problems thought...

look thru your code for syntax errors

Didn't that give you a hint on what's going on.

From MS Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK download page:This SDK does not support working with Microsoft Visual C/C++®, 6.0 as support for VC 6.0 has ended. The last SDK that will work with VC 6.0 is the February 2003 Edition, you can order a CD on the fulfillment site. Side by side installations are not supported.

The SDK names are a bit similar (and since the one you want is not downloadable anymore), are you sure you have the correct SDK installed?

Edit: The best choice is of course to upgrade your environment but if you decide not to upgrade this link will be nice: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowssdk/arc...20/640172.aspx
