ShObjIdl.h compile error when including Photoshop SDK header?

I develop photoshop plugins on both Mac 10.6 and Windows 7, now my code has been built and run successfully on Mac, but on Windows there are curious compile errors in a file "ShObjIdl.h", this is a Windows SDK header file. ( my VC++ version is 2010 ). It seems including some adobe SDK header file will cause the error. Is there someone who had met this? I guess some macro define conflicts.

Are you able to find a solution for this problem?   I am also running into this problem.

I don't see that file getting included directly in the latest SDK. Can you copy paste the error you are getting?

I download the latest SDK and building it in VS2013 and this is what I got.
