Ok, I searched MSDN for a while, and couldn't get an answer, and here's my question:
Why is it that everytime I compile a MFC project (with nothing changed), I get this error:
I could compile MFC programs before I re-installed VC++ 6.Code:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\MFC_Test\MFC_Test.rc(11) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.
Oddly enough, VC++ adds afxres.h to resource files even when you aren't using an MFC project, and yet the file may only be installed if you install MFC. This perticular file isn't actually required, so to fix the error you can edit the .rc file in notepad and replace both occurances of "afxres.h" with "winres.h" (note that there should be two of them, and you need to change both).
I fixed it by re-installing the MFC Libraries and such (just be on the safe side).Originally posted by jkw2068
