Hi. I'm using the Express Edition of MS VC++ 2008. I can just about build. But when I add wincache to my mix, I'm getting a problem with a missing header file ... winres.h [...] So, I guess this is my end having a problem, but where is winres.h coming from if it isn't winresrc.h?

My copy of Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition has a winres.h (no winresrc.h) in \Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc\include. This are the headers that came bundled with Visual Studio (no separate Platform SDK download). That said, the header says in the beggining it's part of the Microsoft Foundation Classes C++ library. I think Visual Studio Express Edition does NOT support MFC. I also have the Windows DDK (which I only use to link against msvcrt.dll, instead of using VC6 for that purpose) and it has both winres.h and winresrc.h. You might try that. I very rarely write windows-specific code, so I cannot give a more insightful answer. -- Gustavo Lopes
