BUG: HC Error 2050 from #include in Help Project File (.HPJ)

Last reviewed: January 5, 1995
Article ID: Q88126

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

When you are building a Help file with the Microsoft Windows Help Compiler, the process stops with the following error message:

   Error 2050: line <number> of <filename>.HPJ : Invalid #include
   syntax

CAUSE

The Help project (.HPJ) file contains a #include statement where the filename is delimited by quotation marks ("") rather than angle brackets (<>).

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, modify the .HPJ file to delimit the filename in the #include statement with angle brackets. For example, replace the following statement

   #include "map.h"

with the following:

   #include <map.h>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with the Windows Help Compiler version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
