Open the good and bad DLLs in Visual Studio and check that the
apparent resource ID value in the bad DLL isn't actually a string -
that was a problem a colleague of mine experienced recently.

Hi,

I can't get my dll to reflect the version information in the resource
file. I am compiling on the command line using Visual Studio .NET 2003.

The resource file contains a "VS_VERSION_INFO" block and compiles ok
with rc.exe. I copied it from one Visual Studio created and then
customized it with my company name, etc.

rc /l 0x409 /fo"libmin.res" libmin.rc

The link has no errors.

link /nodefaultlib:msvcrtd /nodefaultlib:msvcirtd /DEBUG /dll
/nologo /machine:I386 /OUT:lib\libmin.dll /subsystem:windows
....objects... libmin.res

When I right-click the dll in Explorer, there is no version information
for the dll. Is there an option for link I am missing? Is one of my
options preventing the res file from being loaded?

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Your tip led me in the right direction. I had trimmed down the contents
of the rc file from what Microsoft created. Apparently I trimmed too
much. :S I restored it to the original contents, and it works now.
Thanks for the help.
