These are not errors, but warnings :). If I have good understood you would like to use M$ Toolkit 2003, right? I think that your problem is that M$ Toolkit 2003 is using include files from OpenWatcom and not its include files. I have had these problem too, the first time I have installed OpenWatcom. In fact, M$ Toolkit 2003 used wrong include files and generated a lot of errors. My solution was very easy :D. I have uninstalled OpenWatcom and clean the system path from its presence (and, if I remember, deleted OpenWatcom generated environmental variables). Then all worked fine.

If you want to use both....hmmm...I am not sure. :? Try to check which path OpenWatcom has put in the system path and remove them (but make a security copy if you would like to re-put them :wink:). In C::B, try to move in the first position the include path of M$ Toolkit 2003. Check also the forum for useful posts which may help you to solve your problems.

You must get Platform SDK. I'd also suggest you to get .NET framework SDK.
You can get them from MSDN. Here are the direct links:
Platform SDK, .NET Framework (runtime) v1.1 or v2.0, .NET Framework SDK v1.1 or v2.0.
