As explained in the title, I’m having an issue compiling Touchlib in Visual C++ Express 2008.  This error has been mentioned twice in other forums, but no other solutions are mentioned:

The error list looks like this:

...blah blah blah....

it’s all in atlconv.h file, which is unmodified after I downloaded it as part of the Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003, R2. Why are there so many syntax errors in this file?

Thanks!

EDIT:
- I’ve gone through the forum, and done everything else already
- This error only occurs when I want to build configapp. Otherwise everything is great.
CORRECTION:
- the error actually occurs when I try to build demo_smoke. configapp is fine.

I fixed this problem by changing the include directory from
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\atl
to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include\mfc
which happened to also contain the file atlconv.h

The entire project builds now. However, I’m getting the same error as was mentioned here in this thread:

Anyone else with these problems?

All is well. This issue has been fixed on my side.
