Missing .tlb file during compile

[paraglidersd]

Hi All,

I am getting the following error during a compile a new machine (just installed V Studio):

c:\sintcpp comthread\stdafx.h(37) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open type library file: 'C2PCTmsApiServer.tlb': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe.

The .tlb file in question is imported (via the import statement) in stdafx.h. I have included that same .tlb file in my current working directory, but I STILL get the error.

I have searched MSDN and tried a few things but nothing has worked. Please, does anybody have any ideas and/or experience with this kind of problem?????

thank you,
Bill

Someone mentioned that my COM object was not registered. I ran a program that apparently registers it and that object IS in the registry (C2PCTmsApiServer).

why would I still get that compiler error????? I know you COM guys probably have a simple answer (besides the fact that I am a dufus :-)

probably you specified the wrong path to the .tlb file.
