Is shlwapi.h renamed or just not available in the DMC++ compiler & etc?
I have need of it for the WinApi AssocQueryString/AssocQueryKey commands, among
others, but I don't have header file necessary.

For some reason it is not included in the free-commandline-compiler-package.

Download the Win32 platformSDK form M$.

That's done, and the header file works, although the shlwapi.lib I built with implib doesn't seem to be working.

shlwapi.def:
LIBRARY SHLWAPI
EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS
EXPORTS
_AssocQueryStringA@24=AssocQueryString

A description doesn't matter either way, I still end up with:
Error Starting Program
The *removed*.EXE file is linked to missing export SHLWAPI:AssocQueryString
(And of course the inevitable attached device is not working error also)

Every other time this has happened it's been a bad dll or bad library link, what am I doing wrong here?

I allways use Jan's modified implib from http://www.digitalmars.com/~jan

Works OK for me, never had any of the problems you describe.

So give it a try.

P.S.
My implib defs have only the EXPORTS part.
