...and so on
Yes, do upgrade. MSVC 6.0 is a piece of non-standard garbage.
No, the C++ standard has not changed--much--since 1998. That said, Microsoft uses plenty of non-standard features in some headers which may be a part of the problem.

Firstly the Microsoft Platform SDK is not intended to be used with Dev-C++, and even if the header is valid, Dev-C++ is not supplied with the necessary export file.
I suggest that you stick with Visual C++ for this code, getting it working with Dev-C++ is not going to be easy, may not even be possible, and more than likely contrvenes some Microsoft license terms.
I'm looking at GdiplusEnums.h now, and line 534 is simply a forward declaration for an enum defined later. I'm not sure that it needs forward declaration, since it is only used in a macro definition before the full definition, and the pre-processor would not care if it were defined or not.
When shit happens in a 'known-good' header, which we can probably assume this is (at least in VC++), then it is usually caused by something in your own code that appears before the included header. So you need to take a look at the code that appears before #include <gdiplus.h>. If this is only other headers, you need to look at any that you wrote yourself. A quick test would be to move the #include <gdiplus.h> so that it is the forst line of the file, and see if the problem manifests itself differently.
But most of all, stop trying to do this in Dev-C++!

The "don't", was because you can't not because we don't like you.
Maybe we can help you with the VC++ problem nonetheless, but the same rules apply - we need example code, information on what version you are using, and the compile log.
I guess being mean is just not in me today. I'll try harder.

those are the VC++ errors
obviously it's the german version
if i change the include lines from

to

i get totally different errors:

i dont think u need any source code (there is not much there anyway); the errors are caused by the include statements :s

They don't look very similar to at all! You also omitted to tell us what version of VC++ you are using. The version of the SDK may also be useful.
Using VC++ 2005 Express Edition (which is currently a free download BTW), with the PSDK added according to the directions in the link on the Visual Studio Start Page to allow Win32 code generation I compiled the following code without errors:
include <windows.h>
include <gdiplus.h>

someone else had this problem too: (german!)
http://www.softgames.de/forum/frage116557.html
there it says that the compiler doesnt like EMPTY ENUMS... whatever this means...
i now tried Visual C++ and it returns similar errors :(
i have VC++ 6.0
there is no version history on the microsoft site, but i guess it's obsolete.
i'll update on monday.
did the specification of c++ change over the years so that old compilers dont work with newer includes !?
