Hello,
Resource builder 2.0.5
When I try to to link the resource content to a dll, I get a Link error critical error at the end of the process, no matter replacement options are.
When I compile the same file, go back to the compiler, I can compile and make the dll.
It seems however that the link was correctly done
Please advise
Thank you

Hello!
We are unable to reproduce this bug.
Can you send us the dll that you are trying to link to?

Could you give an e-mail address to which I can send the dll and the source script
Thanks

I feel sorry but it seems to me that the fix is not fully operational. While the link does work, the dll can't be registered anymore with regsvr32, as if some other piece of this original dll is broken.
Awaiting for your comments
Thank you

Hello!
Could you send us the dll after you link the resources to it?

Did you select "Replace" as a linking method when linking to dll? Note that "Replace" deletes all resources in the dll file, which aren't included in the project. So, in your case, type library also got deleted. Try to use "Smart add" method, which will preserve existing resources.

You're right, this is what happened. Selecting smart add makes it work.
However I see a little drawback here : say I remove some strings in the source code that are still in the dll, they won't removed during the link process.
I'm wondering where you could leave the code section, and other must have stuff as it is and replace everything that belongs to interface resources (cursor, bitmap, strings, etc...)
Thanks

The smart add function is exactly what should be used. Resource Builder doesn't touch or change code or others sections. It just modifies resource section. And it is up to programmer to control what he will modify update when linking. In case you need to replace resources you just link RC file with Replace option and the same for other cases.
