Hi all,

When I compile my code on Vista WDK (5384), the compiler complains it
cannot open include file "afxres.h". It does not happen to earlier
Vista WDK (5270) or DDK.

Fyi, I can find the file in C:\WINDDK\5384\inc\mfc42 but I cannot
understand why the compiler complains the opening the file.

Does anyone encounter this problem before? If so, how do you solve it?

Thanks.

Sincerely
HS Phuah

Generate a preprocess file and see who is trying to include the header
what's the path being used.

For example, if the file is xyz.c then you can do the following in the build
environment to generate a .pp file.

build -z -nmake xyz.pp


Let us know what you find.

Hi,
I am facing exactly the same problem.
The afxres.h is being included from an RC file. I guess the preprocess
file approach that you suggestd will not work here.

I tried with different DKs:
5373, 5382 and 5462: Same compilation error.
5348 and 3790.1830. Did not get this error.

Any pointers would be helpful. Thanks

Can you include winres.h instead of afxres.h and see if it works?
