Building bdist_wininst with VS2010 Express also gives RC1015. With this patch 
it works.

[issue11598] missing afxres.h error when building bdist_wininst in Visual Studio 2008 Express

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

We could add an afxres.h file alongside install.rc that includes the code 
posted by Lorenz Aebi. That will avoid the auto-generation issue, though it may 
be overwritten if VS does actually generate code for it. 

(I had thought that file was generated on project creation and not 
automatically changed after that, but I could be wrong.)

You need VS 2010 to build 3.3 see

Dan Nicholson added the comment:

Like the previous users, I've only got VS Express, so I can't tell exactly what 
happens when you have VS Pro and it generates the install.rc file. However, I 
might as well post this fuller patch, which I think would do the right thing 
since it also fixes the part where the regeneration of the '#include 
afxres.h' would happen.

I've used this in the installer for both 3.3 and 2.7 and not seen any adverse 
effects.

[issue11598] missing afxres.h error when building bdist_wininst in Visual Studio 2008 Express

[Carl Meyer]

New submission from Carl Meyer c...@dirtcircle.com:

By opening up pcbuild.sln in VS2008 Express, I was able to successfully build 
python and pythonw, but when I tried to build bdist_wininst it failed with 
Fatal Error RC1015: cannot open include file afxres.h

Googling turned up a number of comments about how this file is part of MFC, 
which is really not supposed to be used with VS2008. The recommended fix that 
seemed to work for most people online was to replace afxres.h with 
windows.h in the rc file. I did this in PC/bdist_wininst/install.rc, and then 
it failed with a different error about a missing IDC_STATIC token.

I have very little experience with Windows, so it's entirely possible I'm just 
doing something wrong, but I was asked in #python-dev to file a bug here.

[issue11598] missing afxres.h error when building bdist_wininst in Visual Studio 2008 Express

[Lorenz]

Lorenz pyt...@xca.ch added the comment:

replace the afxres.h by the following lines and then it builds:

#include windows.h

#ifndef IDC_STATIC
#define IDC_STATIC (-1)
#endif

but the problem is, that the 'install.rc' file is generated. Unfortunately I do 
not know how to solve the root cause.
