Looking at the Microsoft website, it mentions that VC6 compiler is no longer supported and that the CURRENT platform SDK is NOT compatible with VC6. The last SDK that works with VC6 is the SDK released February 2003.
This I downloaded from the MSDN site (subscribers section), and installed it, added the two paths to lib and includes, checked out the Win32-GUI source and started to compile... all works fine until the last section and then it fails, producing an error linking virtually every obj... not sure what's next. What version of the Platform SDK are you using Rob?
