To get a handle on the problem, I took a step back and tried to compile and run the DocumentLoader example that comes with the SDK. It too failed to compile successfully. I suspect that if I can resolve the issues with the DocumentLoader example I will solve the problems I am having with our application.
I am working on a Window XP machine and using Visual Studio 2005 (VC 8.0). Here are the environment setting that are made when I run the setsdkenv_windows.bat before building the DocumentLoader example:

As you can see there are a number of errors generated when the DocumentLoader.cxx file is compiled. Any idea what is causing these errors? The DocumentLoader example compiles without problem with the 2.1 SDK using the same compiler.
