[windows] shellapi.h(68): error C2061: syntax errors

[davehorner]

Ran into the [ERROR] Could not open file nob.c: 2 error. Running nob.exe did work.

I am now at something with my shellapi.
I see there is some concern with getting windows.h included before shellapi. I verified the code and see windows.h being included; and I also tested by adding it into plug.c. This did not work.

Good news is that I have a successful build on Win11x64 tonight. I will revisit my Win10 machine where I experienced this shellapi.h junk.

My Win11x64 machine it just works, after making sure to use nob.exe and not just nob #29. Also #45. I expect that I need to install/re-install the windows sdk which is time consuming and annoying.
