Visual c++ 6 __missing_type__

[jiminator]

Anybody know how to fix the errors below? I last used VC++ in 95, which unfortunately makes me the expert in my group....
Original project machine is gone. I think I have recreated the directory structure. I am hoping this is one of those stupid but obvious errors which anyone familiar with vc can fix....

thanks!

Compiling...

Looks like you have the directory structure off a bit. The first compiler error you're getting there is that it can't find the header file/etc. with its #import and is substituting "__missing_type__" as a placeholder, which of course results in those other errors. Good luck!

Thanks man. I copied over everything to a couple of places,. Anyway I only need to modify one file, hopefully I can get by with linking in the new obj file...

posting the solution here, because I hate google searches where someone asks a question then later posts "NVM, found the answer".

I found that although the files included msxml4.dll & mssoap30.dll the first one was not registering. Downloading the msxml4 SDK from microsoft solved the issue.
