This is with both 2.8.3 and 2.8.4-rc1.
On a side note, VS2010 is not trying to compile the *.res file as part of
the executable, because it is marked HEADER_FILE_ONLY, and in addition I
can remove it entirely from the project. Instead, even when the *.res file
appears no where in the solution
This is similar in nature to

The fix for that issue is ending up being obj file specific, though,
because we have a special handler in place for files with obj extensions.
Perhaps we need similar handling for res files. (They are
Well, you're probably going to think this is stupid, but the *.res file is
not actually a resource file in the Microsoft sense of it. It's just a
text file that happens to have the *.res extension. It's a string
localization text file that our logging library knows how to read. It

I don't think it's stupid. No judgment here. :-)
But can it be renamed, or does this logging library require .res as the
file extension?

Ah, I new that would come up. Yeah, they could be renamed. There are only
a dozen or so of them.
I was just trying to migrate the build system to VS2010 in between
projects here at work, and this is the only thing holding me back from a
smooth transition. Changing the extension is certainly an
I'll take a look at the code you sent in your original post and try to see
exactly why it's not working. I might not get to it until the end of the
day, though.
If it worked in VS2008, but not now in VS2010, then we're clearly doing
something different in the generators. I'll find out if it's an
