_VARIANT_BOOL errors when including windows.h

[Clift__Neill]

How do I get rid of these errors:

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17763.0\um\oaidl.h(487): error : expected a declaration
1>                  _VARIANT_BOOL bool;
1>                  ^
1>
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17763.0\um\oaidl.h(502): error : expected a declaration
1>                  _VARIANT_BOOL *pbool;
1>                  ^

I see an old mention of this that it's related to the version the compiler is claiming to be via _MSC_VER but I haven't been able to sort it this way so far.

What Intel compiler version are you using? and what Microsoft Visual Studio version?

I am using Visual studio 2019. I am using the c compiler in Parallel Studio XE 2018 update 4.

Thats funny In help about in Visual studio it says parallel XE 2019 update 4 but in the intel s/w manager history it has 2018 update 4.

VS2019 hasn't been yet supported by Intel compiler.
