1. Try using the Platform SDK headers. The EXTERN_GUID macro is defined 
in RpcNdr.h as:

#if _MSC_VER >= 1100
#define EXTERN_GUID(itf,l1,s1,s2,c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8)  \
  EXTERN_C const IID DECLSPEC_SELECTANY itf = 
{l1,s1,s2,{c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8}}
#else
#define EXTERN_GUID(itf,l1,s1,s2,c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8) EXTERN_C const 
IID itf
#endif

2. It might help to define INITGUID before you include all windows headers

It might help because you have to define the GUIDs in you application 
because you cannot use Microsofts GUID libraries.
