  can't compile povray with vc7

Whenever I try to compile POV-Ray 3.5 with Microsoft's VC7 compiler,
everything works fine except for "error MIDL2035 : constant expression
expected". I'm getting this fatal error four times in codemax's "edit.idl",
lines 2506, 2507, 2513 and 2514:

[
 propput,
 id(DISPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 1ST TIME
 helpcontext(HELPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 2ND TIME
 helpstring("Language keyword case fixup on-the-fly (on/off)")
]
HRESULT NormalizeCase([in]VARIANT_BOOL bVal);
[
 propget,
 id(DISPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 3RD TIME
 helpcontext(HELPID_CMPROP_NORMALIZECASE),   // <<---- 4TH TIME
 helpstring("Language keyword case fixup on-the-fly (on/off)")
]
HRESULT NormalizeCase([out, retval]VARIANT_BOOL *pbVal);

Hope someone could help me out  :-)

Apache

N.B. I've posted this question earlier at p.p but maybe there are some
hardcore coders that don't read there  :-P
