I have a small app that runs as a service. I recently needed to update it, and found that I cannot build it with FWH 2404 or 2407. In both cases it errors out.
It appears the problem is that these versions require uxtheme.lib to be included. Of course a service is not going to use "windows" or its themes. In order to build it successfully, it is necessary to revert to 2402 ( or earlier ). Then I can eliminate uxtheme.lib and it builds, and runs, without a problem.
Is there a way to address this issue ?
Thanks.
