My guess is that you do not have the list of directories set up correctly in the compiler IDE. Look at menu Tools --> Options --> Project and Solutions --> C++ Directories and make sure the path to the include directories are correct and includes the path to where you installed the Microsoft Windows Platform SDK.

I get the same problem, how do i know if the directories are correct?
