afxres.h

[Mike_M_1]

I am trying to resurrect a QuickWin app last complied in 2009.  I believe I have all the files and have built a new project/solution with them.  However, when I go to compile, I get an ERROR RC1015 "unable to find file afxres.h".  I have searched my PC for it without success, and even updated Visual Studio 2022 without success.  How do I get hold of this file?  More broadly, any pointers (including to a "how to" guide) that would enhance my probability of success?

Mahalo, Mike McCurdy

See Cannot open resource file in VS 2015: Can't open include file afxres.h - Stack Overflow - this is an artifact of Microsoft changes since 2009. There will be a reference to it in the .rc file of your project.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for your assistance on this.  Including "winres.h" solved the immediate problem, but revealed that straightforward recompilation won't do the trick.  However, I have recent experience with redevelopment, so it shouldn't be all that difficult.  There's also the possibility of falling back on the earlier console application.

Thanks again for your assistance.
