need help with my azathoth add-on plsm2 with VC6 headache

for the last two days Ive been trying to get this addon to work through my VisualC++ 6 ide,

and with the pre compiled OgreSDK:
1.
I cant get the project workspace PagingLandScape2 to compile, it has problems with exampleapplication
(in CustomPagingLandscapeListener : public PagingLandscapeListener:
this line-> i = mStaticGeometryList.erase(i);, one of the values is recignized as type void, and that doesnt fly with the compiler)

and

2.
the current error message Im getting from the precompiled program ../bin/release/Demo_PagingLandScape2.exe is


Assertion Failed!

Program: ...OgreSDK\bin\release\Demo_PagingLanScape2.exe
File: ..\include\OgrePagingLandScapeData2D.h
line 140

Expression:mHeightData



Ive spent the last two days looking throught the forum and wiki, and I require assistance on getting this configuration up and rolling.

and I have the entire OgreSDK on my desktop, and not in the ogrenew(azathoth) file directory.

And lastly, I also coudltn figure out how to use the mapsplitter tool AT ALL,
i put in all the input data it requested, and either the "run" button isnt doing anything, or I cant find the output

1. remove the line i = mStaticGeometryList.erase(i); and uncomment //++i;

2. you have to run Mapsplitter prior to demo.
if compilation is Ok. make sure it copies it to the bin/$(ConfigurationName) directory SDK. (.dsp provided are correct for the ogrenew directory only.)
Look in project properties, "after-event action"
