Ever get the following error message when opening a PE file?

Cannot enumerate resources in the executable

Turns out that if you have custom resource types, the names of the resources in that type cannot be lower case.

Portable Executable resources

As you see in this example, my resources begin with an upper case P.  Visual Studio will cry if you embed these resources with a lower case P.

Thank you, Visual Studio, for making my work week that much longer…

    Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
