Hi ,

I want to create a dll using the cpp file. I have followed some steps which I got from the some forums and tried to create a dll and it throws the following errors.

**********************************************************
islicenseviewed.cpp(19) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'CALLBACK'

islicenseviewed.cpp(19) : error C2501: 'BOOL' : missing storage-class or type specifiers

islicenseviewed.cpp(19) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

Generating Code...
Error executing cl.exe
***********************************************************

I have turned off the using of the precompiled headers. I don't know how to avoid these errors.

Please help me on this.

Thanks and Regards,
Gauravji

You have problems in your sourcecode. Please post your code so we can help you.

did you include windows.h? That's where BOOL and CALLBACK are defined.

Hi,

Please find the source code below.

//** Custom action to check if the license is completly

UINT __stdcall CheckLicenseViewed(MSIHANDLE hMSI)

  if (hWnd)

   EnumChildWindows( hWnd, EnumChildProc, (LPARAM)&hWndChild );
   if ( hWndChild ) 
   {
    SCROLLINFO sinfo;
    sinfo.cbSize=sizeof(sinfo);
    sinfo.fMask=SIF_TRACKPOS | SIF_RANGE | SIF_POS | SIF_PAGE;
    GetScrollInfo(hWndChild, SB_VERT, &sinfo);
    //max range depends on page size
    UINT MaxScrollPos = sinfo.nMax  - (sinfo.nPage - 1) ;
    //max less, say 5 - an allowable max.
    MaxScrollPos = MaxScrollPos - 5;
    if (sinfo.nTrackPos  > MaxScrollPos) 
    {
     MsiSetProperty(hMSI, TEXT("LicenseViewed"), TEXT("1"));
    }
    else
     MsiSetProperty(hMSI, TEXT("LicenseViewed"), NULL);
   }
  }
 }
 return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}

Please let me know what is wrong with this and how can I create a dll from this ?

Thanks and Regards,
