I recently started following the windows MSVC build guide. I have all of the repositories mapped and up to date. When I try to build CS, the entire build works except I get an error for startme.ico in /apps/tools/startme/
The error is "Old DIB, Pass through SDKPAINT" or some such error. I am wondering if this means I didn't install SP1 correctly, as I am running windows 7 64-bit and all I can find about SDKPAINT is that it relates to old resource compilers not working with Vista+ format icons.
I am presently installing SP1 again, as well as downloading the win7 SDK (which I believe contains the said utility). However, if someone else has had a similar problem or more experience with Windows, please fill me in.
This issue was not present when building with MSVC 10.0 (VS 2010), but in there, after building CS, I ran into issues building PS and would like to use 8.0 since that is the version the guide is based on and I believe the most commonly used.
