Keep getting compiling error since a month on all c++ projects.

Question

Since +- 1 month I keep getting these compiling errors (Always the same) on ALL my c++ projects (C# and vb work fine for now...)

I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, repairing, tried with VS and with VC++, tried installing the win7 sdk (because As far as I can see the header files in the windows sdk folder as causing the issues. I'm lost now. Oh and I didn't mess with any of the files in the windows sdk folder

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Either something happened to the basetsd.h header file or some code in front of it has been broken.  You could set the options to generate the pre-processor output and see if you can visually find the problem.

Answer 2

I fixed by doing an install in a vm and copy over the windows SDK's folder + cs lib and include folders
