Firstly - Why?
1.4.3 has been released for quite some time and fixes many issues,
including some build problems.  You do yourself no favors trying to
build outdated versions.  Ideally get yourself setup with anonymous
CVS access - but if that isn't possible then at the very least use
the latest source package.

IXMLDOMNode is part of the MS XML SDK and not any part of Visual C++.
This points to the fact that you have either a problem with the
Platform SDK you have installed, or some issue with include PATHs.
What is your setup?  Are these the only errors you are getting?

Hope this helps,
