Hi, thanks for the hints Bill ! The problem is now resolved.
Here are the mistakes I made (for the benefit of other newbies like me):
Apart from using vcvars32.bat, I was also using Platform SDK's setenv.bat
I overlooked the following note
"as the Platform SDK is already integrated in the package (MSVC 6), you
obviously don't need to install it and don't even need to call a separate
environment setting batch file for the Platform SDK!"
I still got an error (could not find header file 'htmlhelp.h') when I used
only MSVC environment. However the problem was not having "HTML Help
Workshop" installed. As given in the help of Microsoft compiler toolchain
(Win32 native) (4.4.8.2), I need to install HTML Help Workshop if I am using
MSVC 6.
I overcame it by commenting "HHC_DIR" and "HHC_EXE" lines in config.nmake,
as I am not interested in generating fresh docs.
Regards,
Abhijit

There may be several different things goiung on ....
However: first things first:
If you are compiling with VC6 I would not have expected
"D:\Programs_Win2K\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003
R2\include\html"
to be in the include path.
1. Did you start a fresh "cmd" window and then execute the vc6 setup
file "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin\vcvars32" ?
(The actual location of the VC6 setup file might be different depending
upon how VC6 was installed on your PC).
2. Did you do a distclean ??
3. Did you edit the config.nmake file to set the proper value for
MSC_VARIANT ?
