[RESOLVED] More Manifest Woes

This morning I downloaded the source code for an app I wanted to study. It was originally intended to be built with VC++6 so I imported the dsw workspace (into VS2005). Normally, any such projects convert successfully. It's rare for me to encounter any problems.

In this case, everything compiles okay but I get these errors when it comes to generating the manifest:-

I found this explanation on MSDN. It suggests that there's a resource in my resources file with an ID '1' which conflicts with the ID of my type library, which is '1' by default. I looked in resource.h but couldn't see any resource with an ID of '1'. Nevertheless I followed the instructions for setting my typelib ID to something else. However, this hasn't helped.

Anyone else know what could cause this problem?

It's okay, I found it..!

I'd looked in the app's ".rc" file and also in "resource.h" but I failed to notice another resource file with the extension ".rc2". In it, I found these lines:-

Removing them has solved my problem. :)
