GDI+ GIVING 2082 errors

Question

I have started with using GDI+ and have written the following code :-
1.
2. #include
3. #include
4. #include
5. #include
6. #include
7.
8. using Gdiplus;
9.
10. #pragma comment (lib,"Gdiplus.lib")
11.
12. HWND Button;
13. // The main window class name.
14. static TCHAR szWindowClass[] = _T("DesktopApp");
15.
16. // The string that appears in the application's title bar.
17. static TCHAR szTitle[] = _T("Windows Desktop Guided Tour Application");
18.
19. HINSTANCE hInst;
20. int i;
21. int x = 50;
22. int y = 50;
23.
24. // Forward declarations of functions included in this code module:
25. LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
26.
27. int WINAPI WinMain(
28. In HINSTANCE hInstance,
29. _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
30. In LPSTR lpCmdLine,
31. In int nCmdShow
32. )
33. {
34. GdiplusStartupInput gdiplusStartupInput;
35. ULONG_PTR gdiplusToken;
36. GdiplusStartup(&gdiplusToken, &gdiplusStartupInput, NULL);
37.
38. WNDCLASSEX wcex;
39.
40. wcex.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
41. wcex.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
42. wcex.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
43. wcex.cbClsExtra = 0;
44. wcex.cbWndExtra = 0;
45. wcex.hInstance = hInstance;
46. wcex.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_EXCLAMATION);
47. wcex.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
48. wcex.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW + 1);
49. wcex.lpszMenuName = NULL;
50. wcex.lpszClassName = szWindowClass;
51. wcex.hIconSm = LoadIcon(wcex.hInstance, IDI_APPLICATION);
52.
53. if (!RegisterClassEx(&wcex))
54. {
55. MessageBox(NULL,
56. _T("Call to RegisterClassEx failed!"),
57. _T("Windows Desktop Guided Tour"),
58. NULL);
59.
60. return 1;
61. }
62.
63. // Store instance handle in our global variable
64. hInst = hInstance;
65.
66. // The parameters to CreateWindowEx explained:
67. // WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW : An optional extended window style.
68. // szWindowClass: the name of the application
69. // szTitle: the text that appears in the title bar
70. // WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW: the type of window to create
71. // CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT: initial position (x, y)
72. // 500, 100: initial size (width, length)
73. // NULL: the parent of this window
74. // NULL: this application does not have a menu bar
75. // hInstance: the first parameter from WinMain
76. // NULL: not used in this application
77. HWND hWnd = CreateWindowEx(
78. WS_EX_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
79. szWindowClass,
80. szTitle,
81. WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
82. CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT,
83. 500, 800,
84. NULL,
85. NULL,
86. hInstance,
87. NULL
88. );
89.
90. if (!hWnd)
91. {
92. MessageBox(NULL,
93. _T("Call to CreateWindow failed!"),
94. _T("Windows Desktop Guided Tour"),
95. NULL);
96.
97. return 1;
98. }
99.
100. return 1;
101. }
102.
103. // Main message loop:
104. MSG msg;
105.
106. while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
107. {
108. TranslateMessage(&msg);
109. DispatchMessage(&msg);
110. }
111.
112. GdiplusShutdown(gdiplusToken);
113.
114. return (int)msg.wParam;
115. }

And it is giving 2082 COMPILATION ERRORS (which is way too much), and all the errors belong to some or the other header of Gdi+.

Some of them are :-

E0757 variable "OUT" is not a type name WindowsProject1 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\um\gdiplusheaders.h 89

E0020 identifier "GpStatus" is undefined WindowsProject1 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.19041.0\um\gdiplusflat.h 871

.... and many others.

Can somebody recommend anything. It would be highly appreciable.
