I built Xitami with M$ Visual C version 6 which _does_ have the VC98
Complier where required. I built under Windows 2000 with no problems. I
too tried with other versions of M$VC and ran into much the same
problems that you have. I suggest that if you cannot get a copy of M$VC
6 then you install the binary version of Xitami.

I hope this helps.
