When building a DCOM I get the following error:

"[b]midl : command line error MIDL1003 : error returned by the C preprocessor (-1073741515)

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\midl.exe”’ : return code ‘0x3eb’

Stop.

Error in MAKE, exiting.[/b]"

The OS is WindowsXP (2002), SP2.  
I’m running .NET 2005  
and EntireX 7.21.50
