Hi Gertjan, Thanks for trying it.
.\CLILauncher.rc(97) : error RC2135 : file not found: C:\Users\Vinay\Projects\Launchers\launcher.ico
Somewhere there's an absolute path where it should be relative - I'll get on it.
There are a few compilation warnings as well:
.\launcher.c(59) : warning C4996: '_wgetenv': This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using _wdupenv_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.
This is a security related warning which I think can be ignored - we only ever read environment values, never write them, so making a private copy via _wdupenv isn't really needed IMO. I don't disable the warning because it would disable all security-related warnings.
Associator builds (with the same warning displayed above). When checking it's dependencies, I see it depends on MSVCR90.DLL. You've mentioned that you use only "plain C and Win32 APIs"; would it be possible to remove this dependency? That would make it possible to copy the executable to a directory on the PATH, without having to worry about installing the C(++) runtime.
I noticed this too, and later builds of associator have the library linked in statically. If you get any more issues, you can post them on the BitBucket issue tracker - they are probably OT for here, unless design/PEP related. Regards, Vinay Sajip
