Shorten the "Additional Include Directories" entry in the "C/C++ General"
page of the project's Properties.

It's been a while since you posted this but I just ran into the same
problem. Searching the newsgroups found your posting, but little else. It
turns out our resident VC++ guru had run into the problem a few weeks ago;
he's out of town this week, but happened to mention it, and the solution, to
another co-worker. I'm still not sure where he found the answer.

Worked for me. Obvious, isn't it?
