Resource Causing VS2008 to Crash

Hello:

I am using the full version of Visual Studio 2008, and a co-worker is using the Visual Studio Shell (that comes bundled with the IVF compiler). Since her version of VS does not come with a Resource Compiler,she is using ResEdit (a free Resource Compiler).

After creating a resource, she sent me the file to play with and, lo and behold, when I tried opening the .rc file, the entire Visual Studio 2008 crashed. After much experimenting, I found that the.rc file produced by resedit includes at the top. If I comment that line out, then I can open the .rc in my Visual Studio without a problem. But when that line is in, even in a basic .rc file, it crashes Visual Studio.

I've attached a zip file containing a simple example of this problem. One workaround would be to just comment out this line, but it seems like this is a bug in Visual Studio, or maybe my settings are wrong...

Thanks.
Michael

Cool! I can reproduce this too. I'll see about reporting it to Microsoft. You can reproduce the error simply by trying to open the .rc file directly - no project needed.
