error C4335 when compile C++ project VS2012

I have a C project that i am able to compile and run successfully, however when i add another include like #include <vector> even without actually using the vector type i am getting the following annoying errors:

1>c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio11.0\vc\include\wchar.h : error C4335: Mac file format detected: please convert the source file to either DOS or UNIX format

and around 30 more errors related to the same wchar.h file.

I have search for a solution and i have done the suggestion to save my project files with the windows end-of-line but that didn't help.

My goal in including the vector lib is to uses vectors in my current project.

EDIT:

I tried to open the wchar.h file using text editor but all i get is a blob of data nothing like an header file, maybe it is corrupted somehow?

Thanks.

The file wchar.h is not in the right encoding, probably it is Unicode or UTF8.

Open wchar.h from visual studio, select all and copy, create a new h file and past and save to replace the exsiting wchar.h

After repairing the VS 2012 install it works as it should, i assume that the wchar.h file got corrupted.

Or open wchar.h in Notepad++ -> Edit -> EOL Conversion -> Windows format. Here you can get Notepad++: http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

If you don't have it, get it. It is a must have application on every programmers PC.
