error C2146 in winnt.h?!

[ADoozer]

i know this is a basic error.. and im sure ive seen/solved it before but i need sleep and its driving me mad.

im getting the following error when trying to compile very simple code.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE\winnt.h(152) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'WCHAR'

now im pretty sure theres nothing wrong with my winnt header file, can anyone spot my error cos i surely cant.

(PS: ive used these files in another project and they worked fine)

thanx in advance for saving my sanity

bugger...

scratch that.

forgot to add #include <windows.h>

(also noticed id changed some variable names )
