Wrong place to post this: this is for reporting and discussing problems with this site, not with your software. Try here: Ask a Question[^] or here: C / C++ / MFC Discussion Boards[^] But ... remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with. So give us as much relevant info as you can - like what you found when you looked at those locations, perhaps...

All the PDB file stuff isn't errors it's just the debugger telling you it can't debug inside the windows dll. You need the non community version for that aka the paid version :-) The actual error is you don't have the comctl32.dll loaded. I could give you the long explanation of where you add it in the program options but lets give you the new hack way Simply place this near the top of your main file

#pragma comment( lib, "comctl32.lib" )
