Xerces C++ unresolved linker error

Question

I'm using VS2005 to generate and build Xerces .hxx/.cxx files for a schema I created. I'm able to generate the schemas and compile them but upon linking I received the below linker errors. I included xerces-c_3D.lib into the Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies tab. And it seems to find it. Because when I take out the location from Linker->General->Additional Library Directories VS complains that it can't find xerces-c_3D.lib

I've used http://wiki.codesynthesis.com/Using_XSD_with_Microsoft_Visual_Studio to setup the project.

I've also tried building one of the example applications and after setting up the includes and libraries it builds without fail. I even built and did the same thing in vs 2010 and it works. So I'm at a loss as to where to look.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
