Usually, this might have something to do with the SDK in your project properties is different than the one use when the framework was created. Click on Project then Properties. Make sure you have the configuration set to All Configurations. On the left side of the window, make sure General is selected then on the right, under Target Platform Version you might see 8.1 listed. Click on the drop down arrow and choose one that is in the list. Click on OK.

There's no such thing as "ctype.h" i believe.
Try either <type.h> or <ctype>.
All c libraries "name.h" have their respective "cname", created with c++.
I think libraries like "cname" are just a bunch of includes and defines.

It is also in the WinSDK for some reason, and not finding it is an indication of SDK troubles.

Mrm, did you do what Papa said?? It is almost always the solution for this problem.
