Code:

#include “RESOURCES.H”

ID_ICON1 ICON test.ico

The error:

Compiling resources...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\test7\files\RESOURCES.H(1) : fatal error RC1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing rc.exe.

test7.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

thanks in advance!

In my resource files, the filename of the icon is enclosed by quotes, so you might want to try this:

Code:

---

#include “RESOURCES.H”

ID_ICON1 ICON "test.ico"

---

still the same problem, the error says it's the header ...I really don't have a clue since this is one of my first experiments...

...
#include <windows.h> // include all the windows headers
#include <windowsx.h> // include useful macros
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include "RESOURCES.H" //quotes

you did it in your rc file :p

Good catch, kkez. My intuition told me that he was missing quotes -- I just picked the wrong spot! :)

Well it still has the same error, so it doesn't seem to be the quotes :(

Could any one run a test and verify the error if you'd see it?

Zipped the dir of the project:
