Which is why I gave the above advice.  Preprocess your source and
see exactly what the compiler is seeing.  At that point the error
should be obvious.

MUD-Dev is not a teach-me-programming forum.

Translation: The preprocessor is getting an #else outside of an #if
context.  Given 3 minutes spent with the preprocessor this should be
easy to find.

No, it is telling you that you have a simple preprocessor error.
Its up to you to find the cause of that.

Unlikely.  MS dev tools are generally poor in regards to standards
compliance, but are not quite that bad.

Mope.

You have a preprocessor error.  So use the preprocessor to find and
fix it.
