Ryan,

Can you please ensure that you are using the latest platform SDK and the
CResTyp.awx that ships with it (the one that has Feb 2003 timestamp)? The
one that ships with VC6 is ancient one and should NOT be used.

Can you please ensure that resource DLL and extension DLL do not have a
dependency on a missing DLL? i.e. are you able to load the resource DLL on
the node and extension DLL on node as well as client using depends.exe
without any issues?

The samples and the code generated using wizard that ships with latest
platform SDK should build without any errors in VC6. The compiler errors
mentioned might indicate that the SDK include paths are not correctly setup
in VC6.

I quickly used the wizard that ships with latest platform SDK to generate
code for a resource and extension DLL with following settings (can be found
in settings.txt), built it using VS .NET 2003 and was able to create the
resource type and the resource without any issue on W2K3 cluster.

=====
A Resource DLL project and a Cluster Administrator Extension DLL project
will be generated for the "Ryan" resource type.

The following options have been chosen:
- Controls an application: "%windir%\\notepad.exe"
- Extend Cluster Configuration Setup Wizard.
- Extend context menus for resource type "Ryan".

The following properties are used with this resource type:
test1 - type SZ
test2 - type DWORD Default=0 Range=(0,4294967295) (Required)
=====

Hope this helps.
