And so on...

Currently, I resolved it using this solution: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45957830/gdipluspath-throws-ambiguous-byte-for-cstddef-and-rpcndr-h

Specifically, the #define byte win_byte_override and #undef byte.

But my impression is that this should be solved in the library itself.
