What's "default include path" and "Microsoft Include directory". The only
include paths which will be searched by the compiler above, are those
specified by "c:\program files\microsoft visual 
studio\vc98\bin\vcvars32.bat". Are you sure the path to "stl/_prolog.h" is
there? I guess you're using STLport that you've installed yourself, so you
might have forgotten to update vcvars32.bat. You can either update it, or
add another <include> property to your project, with the path to the
STLPort includes.

HTH,
