I'm trying to compile the following program (file named test.cpp):
#include "stdafx.h"
int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
INPUT *buffer = new INPUT[1]; //allocate a buffer
buffer->type = INPUT_MOUSE;
buffer->mi.dx = 100;
buffer->mi.dy = 100;
buffer->mi.mouseData = XBUTTON1;
buffer->mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;
buffer->mi.time = 0;
buffer->mi.dwExtraInfo = 0;
SendInput(1,buffer,sizeof(INPUT));
delete (buffer); //clean up our messes.
}
when "stdafx.h" is:
#pragma once
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <windows.h>
Then I get the following errors:

I'm using everyting as specified in MSDN, but still got this stupid compiler error. Have no idea why... :(

Obviously what I want is this code to compile and run :)
PS
When I compile it with only <winuser.h> (instead #include "stdafx.h" I write #include <winuser.h>), I get the following errors:
c:\...\include\winuser.h(39) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'HDWP'
c:\...\include\winuser.h(39) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
I've tried to compile both on VC++ 6.0 and .net and both produce the same errors!!!
