Windows uses some stuff that is not legal C++  they treat struct and 
class as different types with different rules.   While C++ says they are 
the same, (just one is public by default the other private by default)

Do you have treat all warnings as errors on?  If so turn off the 
inconsidtnet use of class and struct keywords

If that doesn't work can you preprocess a file that has this error and 
send it to me (strip out as much as possible that still leaves the 
error) and I'll check it out.

Thanks for any cooperation.

No I do not. And I already have "Inconsistent Use of 'class' and
'struct' Keywords" disabled. Do you have nay other ideas?

I have packaged up a project and sent it to you. Please let me know
what you find out.

Thanks for the help

The problem was you were using the precompiled header and not a prefix 
file.  There are two types of prpecompiled headers  one has  just .mch  
the other is ++.mch  and is precompiled as C++

Changing this fixed your target to build just fine.
