uxtheme.h error 2146 need an Identifier to declare on compile

I just installed LMD ELPACK 2012 trial into 

C++ Builder 6 Enterprise ver.10.166 

 I get 2 errors when I compile application: UxTheme.h(176): E2145 need an identifier to declare 
code: 
typedef enum THEMESIZE 
{ 
TS_MIN, // minimum size 
TS_TRUE, // size without stretching 
TS_DRAW, // size that theme mgr will use to draw part 
}; 

UxTheme.h(546): E2145 need an identifier to declare 
code: 
typedef enum PROPERTYORIGIN 
{ 
PO_STATE, // property was found in the state section 
PO_PART, // property was found in the part section 
PO_CLASS, // property was found in the class section 
PO_GLOBAL, // property was found in [globals] section 
PO_NOTFOUND // property was not found 
};

I installed another package earlier that uses the same file, and the same errors came up. I had to remove that package as it conflicted with Elpack. So I updated Builder 6 hoping to solve the problem but... Anyone else have this problem? Thanks

Got very luck and found the answer:

Change source to:
typedef enum THEMESIZE 
{ 
TS_MIN, // minimum size 
TS_TRUE, // size without stretching 
TS_DRAW, // size that theme mgr will use to draw part 
}
THEMESIZE  ; 

UxTheme.h(546): E2145 need an identifier to declare 
code: 
typedef enum PROPERTYORIGIN 
{ 
PO_STATE, // property was found in the state section 
PO_PART, // property was found in the part section 
PO_CLASS, // property was found in the class section 
PO_GLOBAL, // property was found in [globals] section 
PO_NOTFOUND // property was not found 
}
PROPERTYORIGIN  ;

Yes - this is mentioned in the ReadMe files for C++Builder users (problem with Header files provided by Borland).
