Hello,

the following code sample, included in a larger project, produces the following linker result:

sc
main.c -cpp -Aa -r -J -mn -C -WA -ff -5 -a1 -c -g -gg -DHLDRIVER -D_DEBUG=1
-Ie:\prozess\iatinclu -Ie:\prozess\tasklib -Ie:\include -oe:\prozess\obj.tsk
\main.obj
link /CO /NOI /DE /PACKF /XN /NT /ENTRY:WinMainCRTStartup /BAS:4194304
/A:512 /RC   :e:\prozess\obj.tsk\IATPROZ.RES @PROCTRL.LNK
Error: e:\prozess\obj.tsk\main.OBJ(main)  (21233664): Symbol Undefined
_IID_IPersistFile
Warning: c:\sc\LIB\SHELL32.LIB(shguid)  (21233664): MS Precompiled TYPES not
supported
Warning: c:\sc\LIB\SHELL32.LIB(shguid)  (25636263): Unknown CV version,
ignored
Lines Processed: 141786  Errors: 1  Warnings: 2
Build failed

Has someone (Jan or Walter :-)) ) an idea, what's going wrong here. I don't
have the right conclusion.

Thanks a lot

Heinz-Peter

Code sample:

#include <shlobj.h>
#include <shlguid.h>

HRESULT ResolveIt(HWND hwnd, LPCSTR lpszLinkFile, LPSTR lpszPath)
{
    HRESULT hres;
    IShellLink* psl;
    char szGotPath[MAX_PATH];
    char szDescription[MAX_PATH];
    WIN32_FIND_DATA wfd;

    *lpszPath = 0; // assume failure

    // Get a pointer to the IShellLink interface.
    hres = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_ShellLink, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IShellLink, (LPVOID *) &psl);

    if (SUCCEEDED(hres)) {

        IPersistFile* ppf;

        // Get a pointer to the IPersistFile interface.
        hres = psl->QueryInterface( IID_IPersistFile, (VOID **)&ppf);

        if (SUCCEEDED(hres)) {

            WCHAR wsz[MAX_PATH];

            // Ensure that the string is Unicode.
            MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, lpszLinkFile, -1, wsz, MAX_PATH);

            // Load the shortcut.
            hres = ppf->Load(wsz, STGM_READ);

            if (SUCCEEDED(hres)) {

                // Resolve the link.
                hres = psl->Resolve(hwnd, 0);

                if (SUCCEEDED(hres)) {

                    // Get the path to the link target.
                    hres = psl->GetPath(szGotPath, MAX_PATH,
(WIN32_FIND_DATA *)&wfd,  SLGP_SHORTPATH );

                    if( FAILED(hres) ) {
    }

                    // Get the description of the target.
                    hres = psl->GetDescription(szDescription, MAX_PATH);

                    if( FAILED(hres) ) {
    }

                    lstrcpy(lpszPath, szGotPath);

                }

            }

         // Release the pointer to the IPersistFile interface.
         ppf->Release();

        }

     // Release the pointer to the IShellLink interface.
     psl->Release();

    }

    return hres;
}

I am not sure, but I think this one resides in UUID.LIB. So, include UUID.LIB into your project.

This is weird.

And so is this.

Are you sure you didn't overwrite these files?

Don't worry, be Kneppie!

I tried it, and it compiles and links without error. I suggest that perhaps your library files have been corrupted or the wrong ones are being linked in. -Walter

P.S. I compiled with the following command:

sc
test.cpp -cpp -Aa -r -J -mn -C -WA -ff -5 -a1 -c -g -gg -DHLDRIVER -D_DEBUG=
1
