Chances are that in one of your header files you're missing a semi-colon at the end of class definition.

When you get syntax errors in files you are pretty sure compile (like winbase.h), it's likely not actually in that file.

#include "MyFile.h"
#include

If you include any of your header files before you included Windows, and you are missing a semicolon, or brace, the compiler is still looking for it when it reaches the next file.

Start your search in any files you included before Windows.h, or include Windows.h first and see if the compiler gives you the correct location this time.
