Syntax error - compiling old version

[clueless]

First of all, i'm a complete newbie to programing c++.
Just trying to compile an old version of DC++ and work from there.

Anyway, i can't understand why i get this syntax error?
Are the other errors coming because of the syntax error?

According to my VS.NET, LPNMREBARCHEVRON is defined in a file in the Platform SDK. Update yours from the Microsoft site and see if you get the same error.

Tried updating to the latest SDK.
Still got the same errors.

I haven't installed VS.net, but didn't think i had to install that?

I haven't updated a Platform SDK myself, but did you point it to the proper include directories? It doesn't seem to install over top of the Platform SDK included in your Visual Studio directory...
