Winnt.h error in VS 2005 [Resolved]
Just as much a note to my self next time I have to install VS 2005 as to anyone else. But I couldn't compile any Win32 app before I got this fixed. If you ever get error output like this in VS2005:
Code:

Change this line (222) in winnt.h:
Code:
typedef void * POINTER_64 PVOID64;
to
Code:
typedef void * POINTER_64;
typedef void * PVOID64;
and you can compile just fine.
