Not sure about the first thing. I recommend taking out the MSPlatformSDK include and recompiling. Especially with 2008, those headers usually lead to just problems. If that's not it, just forcibly cast to LPCWSTR as the two types are representation-compatible.

As for the second problem, that's one out of a slew of well-known issues of VS 2008. Exit VS, delete the respective .pdb and restart VS. Can't predictably reproduce the issue myself, but usually having only one copy of VS open helps at least somewhat.
