As the title says, I can't create a simple DLL. I'm using VS 2017 Community Edition Version 15.8.0. Here is the .dll code:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "InvWin32App.h"
#include "$StdHdr.h"
void Prc1()
{
printf("ran procedure 1\n");
}
Here is the code for the header, per the MS way to do things:
#ifdef INVWIN32APP_EXPORTS
#define INVWIN32APP_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define INVWIN32APP_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
INVWIN32APP_API void Prc1();
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
Here is the driver code: (Update: The driver program is an .exe program.)
#include "pch.h"
#include "InvWin32App.h"
int main()
{
Prc1();
}
It can't get any simpler than this. I get the following error message box when I try to run the code:
Unable to start program
program name.dll
program name.dll is not
a valid Win32 application
I can create .exe programs okay. I also got the error earlier this morning when I was running VS 2017 Version 15.7.5. Upgrading VS didn't do any good. I also tried to compile these as .c programs, but it didn't make any difference.
I had this problem on a couple occasions creating .exe programs using VS 2015. I don't recall what I did, but the problem disappeared. Any help would be appreciated.
TIA.
