C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\winui\TSF\tsfcompart\winres.h C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\winui\TSF\tsfapp\winres.h (identical to tstcompart) C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Include\WinResrc.h C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Include\WinResrc.h (identical to V6.1) The comments in winres.h say ... // This is a part of the Microsoft Foundation Classes C++ library. // Copyright (C) 1992-1998 Microsoft Corporation // All rights reserved. // // This source code is only intended as a supplement to the // Microsoft Foundation Classes Reference and related // electronic documentation provided with the library. // See these sources for detailed information regarding the // Microsoft Foundation Classes product. // winres.h - Windows resource definitions // extracted from WINUSER.H and COMMCTRL.H So, this does look like I'm missing MFC after all. Dropping the winres.h I do have into the wincache folder allows for the extension to compile. So, need to find MFC for Express Edition (if it exists separately). Thanks for that. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
