You seem to be doing something strange. I just tried this with the beta.31
source code freshly downloaded, with the following results:

- no MAX_PATH warning for vfe.cpp (nor any other file)
- no IStream error for vfe.cpp (nor any other file)

In addition, I get vfewin as 2nd, not 3rd, project to be built (building the
povwin project).

Project builds & runs fine.

Some questions that may help find the reason for your trouble:

- Did you ever knowingly install a Platform SDK?

- Exactly what version of Visual Studio are you using?

- What are your environment settings?

- What project do you try to compile?

Don't panic - despite all rumors we're *not* eating newbies for breakfast ;)
