Only one symbol can't be resolved?  That's a likely indicator of a
mismatch between the library headers and the library file itself.

Those last two lines should be in the previous section.  They describe
requirements, not which variants should be built by default.

I assume the library file is called

  shlwapi.lib

and located in

  C:\Programme\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\lib
