Hi,
I'm trying to create the example product registration dll. When I try to compile and link it. I get the msg below. This is using the provided example with no modifications. Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm not much of a programer but need to have serial # registration in the product I'm creating. I'm using Microsoft studio 8 for this.
The error msg is listed below.
thanks,

Hi,

Thank you for signaling this error to us.

This DLL project was tested using Visual Studio 7.

We look into this matter and see what could be the problem.

Best regards,
Ciprian

Hi

These are the necessary changes that must be done in order to build the Serial Validation DLL using Visual Studio 8.

Go to the Project Properties->Linker->Input and set
Additional Dependencies = msi.lib user32.lib

Also configure Visual Studio to find the necessary LIB files.

All the best,
Ciprian
