I am trying to compile the example from
'http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/fileio/fs/adding_users_to_an_encrypted_file.asp' and I am getting the error:

Deleting intermediate files and output files for project 'Adduser - Win32
Debug'.

Error executing link.exe.

Adduser.exe - 7 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I have installed the "Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK" and I have modified the
(lib and include) directories in VC++ 6.0 to include "c:\Program
Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Lib" and "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform
SDK\Include" . I can compile the file, just not link it. Any hints out
there?
