RE: Win32MsgLoader does not load error message when alternate exe cutable is used

["Williamson, Siehnai" <sw...@docucorp.com>]

I found that even setting the GetModuleHandle(NULL) does not work because
the statically linked lib will still not be able to locate the Xerces
resource which contains the error messages.  After several attempts, I ended
up merging the Xerces resource file containing the error messages with a
resource file already in my application that links fine.  Now I have one
resource file with both my application values and Xerces resource values.  I
hope this helps.

Thanks: Win32MsgLoader does not load error message when alternate executable is used

[Douglas Turner <do...@redflex.com.au>]

Thanks to Siehnai and Peter for your help,

I am happy to say that I am statically linking to the XercesC library
and also have the correct text in the XercesC error messages.  This was
achieved by adding the Xerces resource file (Version.rc in XercesC
1.5.1) to my MSVC++ project.  I had not been using a resources file, so
merging was not required.

Regards,
Douglas
