Trouble compiling win32all on Windows

[robert]

I've trouble compiling win32all. VC98 and latest SDK installed (otherwise with original SDK it won't even compile).
It tells that uuid.lib(cguid_i.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debug info is destroyed. This lib file is in the SDK file tree. What should I do?

( a cguid_i.* file is not in this SDK tree )

The library isn't compatable with the compiler you're using. You'll
need to use an older version of the Platform SDK that supports your
compiler.

thanks. the last Windows SDK supporting VC6 (Py2.3) is February 2003 Edition.

If someone seeks here:

MS' front pages tell you need to get it via CD.
Yet this SDK exists (well hidden) on the net here:

one needs to set IE as default browser during installation. otherwise setup.exe will fail.
