Hi there!
I'm trying to compile the sample codes but it seems like i'm missing
this file: "afxres.h" has anyone had this problem before?
Is this related to the fact that I'm using VS C++ Express edition?
Any solution?

Thanks!

There is a common error when you use MFC, please more details about
the error.

Hi,

I also has this problem with VS2010 C++ (interestingly enough I did
not have the problem with VS2008).

Anyway, the way I solved it was to go to the "OpenNI.rc" file, view
this code and change all occurrences of "afxres.h" to
"windows.h" (there were only 2 instances).

This seemed to solve the problem. Hope it also works for you.

@BiLLB this is the commend way to do it!

Look at the c++ help, to find the answer. windows.h should be used
instead of "afxres.h"!
This is the right way to do it!

keep up that good help :)

The weird thing is that Visual Studio (even 2010) creates the file with #include "afxres.h" (just tried it).
Why would Visual Studio create the file in a way that would not compile?

I had the same problem using Visual Studio 2008. Replacing afxres.h
with windows.h helped. The OpenNI samples compile now.

Thanks,

When I change both occurrences of afxres.h to windows.h I get the
following error:

1>------ Build started: Project: NiAudioSample, Configuration: Debug

value (E:\Program Files (x86)\OpenNI\Samples\Bin\Debug

To correct this, please make sure that $(OutDir), $(TargetName) and $
(TargetExt) property values match the value specified in %

Mike -- did you get this error resolved?

I fear it's probably something obvious as I'm used to developing on
MacOS. Visual Studio and the Windows programming environment are new
to me.

Never mind... it looks like doing a make clean and rebuild fixes that
problem. Visual Studio really likes to hide the "make clean"
option. :-) I was wondering where it was for a while, and their built-
in help wasn't so good. Definitely a VS noob error.
