Summary: Error when "Add Existing Item" to a folder

Initial Comment:
Recieved the error: "Cannot enumerate resources in the 
executable" when I added a .DLL to the project.

I have a project that has a CustomActions folder. In 
this folder I keep my VBScripts and any CA's based on 
DLL's. 

I wanted to include "SIDLookup.dll" in the folder... 
but recieved the error message above. I've attached 
SIDLookup.dll.

Ok, this is actually working by design believe it or not. :) When you add
a native code .DLL into a project system (try doing the same thing in C#),
and you open that file by double-clicking it in the Solution Explorer,
Visual Studio will load the default editor for that file type. In this case
VS picks the resource viewer. If your DLL doesn't have any resources
defined in it, then you'll get this error. If your DLL has resources in it,
then you'll see them all listed in the editor. The difference with Votive
is that the VS SDK decided to automatically open the file when you add it
to the project. C# just adds it without opening it. I may decide to change
this behavior at some point.

Anyway, the error message is expected and ignorable and this is indeed
behaving by design. I'm not sure it's a good design, but at least its
consistent.
