We haven't tried building yet with VC9, but this error looks familiar  
from VC8 also: it probably means that Ambulant and Xerces are compiled  
with different values for the "treat wchar_t as a builtin type"  
parameter. Check that, and make them the same. Please report whether  
it worked, too:-)
