Since pretty much none of the pre-v108 Tier 2 examples are up to date with v1076, never mind v10811, it isn't surprising to get errors.
If you copy the Core.cpp and CoreForApp.h files from the template_windows_vs2010 file to any of the example projects, it might work better.
Check the dates on those files in the Native\Windows_VS2010 project directories.
And the settings for the projects probably aren't quite right (the original templates weren't in the beginning). And I really hate that I cannot open just one of the Tier 2 examples (forced to open the 'solution' with all of them).
Also, have you installed the DirectX SDK?
