Confirmed (I get it myself).  Probably has to do with sensitivity to
the SDKs installed on the system.  The offending include order,
in reverse order, is:

"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\include\\objid
l.h"
   "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\include\\obj
base.h"
     "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft 
SDKs\\Windows\\v7.0A\\include\\ole2.h"
       "c:\\mcb\\hg\\viewer-development\\indra\\llwindow\\lldragdropwin32.h"
