Summary:
PROBLEM ID: WIN9104002
This article lists confirmed limitations in the Windows version 3.00
resource compiler.
LIMITATION
Resource Compiler Expression Handling Limited
SYMPTOMS
The resource compiler gives error RW2002 when it compiles a given
resource script.
CAUSE
The resource compiler's expression parser does not deal with minus
signs and spaces consistently. There are contexts in which
expressions with minus signs are invalid.
RESOLUTION
Remove the spaces between the elements of the expression involving
the minus sign or modify the resource statement to remove the
expression entirely.
LIMITATION
Resource Compiler Removes C 6.00 #pragma Comment Strings
SYMPTOMS
When the C 6.00 #pragma comment is used to embed comment strings
into an executable file and the file is processed by the resource
compiler, the strings are removed from the final EXE file.
CAUSE
The C compiler places comment strings outside of any segment.
