Thanks Alberto - Your suggestion did the trick for a build. I replaced the two instances of #include "winres.h" in version.rc, and the build worked.
I wonder if it is worth doing something like #ifdef _MFC_VER #include "winres.h" #ifndef _MFC_VER #include "winver.h" #include "winnt.h" to avoid this problem for other inexperienced Express edition users?
