'resedit issues errors with standard Microsoft header files

When I started using resedit v1.6.6, it displayed errors like "right parenthesis expected" when I added standard include paths for files like "windows.h".

It looks like resedit fails to parse valid header files.



Solution 1:[1]

My solution is to add a directory with empty files for each header file resedit complains about. By adding dummy files on a path before standard header file paths, resedit will prefer the dummy files.

I needed to replace

  • corecrt.h
  • vadefs.h
  • vcruntime.h
