It looks like your configuration of the Windows SDK is invalid. This error is caused by the fact that the compiler is unable to recognize the 'POINTER_64' statement. You may workaround this problem by replacing 'POINTER_64' with '__ptr64'.

I had the same issue recently. Then I've reinstalled the latest version of the Windows SDK and this fixed the problem.

UPDATE @David Heffernan, correctly points to the fact that one should include windows.h instead of winnt.h
