Errors in winnt.h file using visual c++ 2005 express edition and mar. 15 sdk
Hello. I get the following errors when I try to include winnt.h in my code. I tried using the newest sdk as well as the previous release, and both files seem to generate the same errors. This must be a common problem, but I haven't seen the answer. I'm including stdio.h, xlcall.h, windef.h and winnt.h in my code. Maybe I need to include another header. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I also get similar errors when including winbase.h. They all seem to focus around context and pcontext. here are the winbase.h errors in case anyone would find them helpful. I've seen a couple of threads on this problem, but none seemed to have a fool-proof solution. There has to be a fix for this problem. Thanks.

HEY, I GET THE SAME ERROR LPCONTEXT!!
MY ERRORS WERE IN WINBASE.H AND EXCPT.H.
I THINK THE THREAD BEGINS IN THE STDLIB.H
THE ERROR THERE IS '_JBLEN'.
POST ME PLEASE IF YOU FIND THE SOLUTION.
I HAVE BEEN USING MVS 2005 STANDARD EDITION FOR A WEEK NOW
THANKS SOAC
Hi All
Has anyone got a fix for this? Newbie to VC++ 2005 having very similar problems when using sepupapi.h. Have intalled latest R2 SDK.

Hey All,
I am trying to compile a c file with Visual C++ under windows xp. It gives an error related to pcontext which is included in winnt.h. I can not find any solution for this. Please let me know if anyone knows anyting about this.
Thanks.
i had the same problem. what i did was rebuild my propject from scratch.
so all the include files are in their origional position
it worked for me, i got my exe file.
Hi Soac,
I changed the order of the include files and rebuilt the project. It worked. Thank you for the suggestion.
Hi,
I am having the same problem... Which include files order should I changed. I changed the order of all the include files but still ended up with the same error. More over I have not included winnt.h in any of my files.
Thanks,
Intel Engg.
I am also having the same issues with include files in a project. Could you please advise how you changed the order of header file includes to get the project working correctly?
I am using vendor supplied header files that work okay in visual studio 6, but not in VS8. My app is in VC++.
the order in question is windows.h and excpt.h right before winnt.h
if you do this, u can see the order of your includes. it really helpful, and surprising!!!
from the menu bar,select: project, configuation, c++,preprocessor
select generate preprossed file, include line numbers
Thanks. windows.h include was what I needed.
I had a similar problem building a dll. Rearranging includes did not help, but removing _WINDOWS from "Project properties->configuration properties->C/C++->Preprocessor->definitions" made it work.
Adding _MBCS should in that case do the trick when you don't want to remove _WINDOWS.
