Deleting resouce problem

[TheDen]

hi, i want to delete the resouce in such a way: UpdateResource( m_hModule, "MY_RES_TYPE", MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDR_MY_RES1 ), MAKELANGID( LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL ) , NULL, 0 ); MSDN: If lpData is NULL, the specified resource is deleted from the executable file. GetLastError ===87 — The parameter is incorrect. How can i handle this??? If i do this: UpdateResource( m_hModule, "MY_RES_TYPE", MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDR_MY_RES1 ), MAKELANGID( LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL ) , lpData, 1 ); UpdateResource( m_hModule, "MY_RES_TYPE", MAKEINTRESOURCE( IDR_MY_RES1 ), MAKELANGID( LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL ) , NULL, 0 ); everything's going OK but resouce isn't deleted.

Are you sure that the resource exists? Did you call EndUpdateResource()?

the problem is with the resource type which shouldn't be put in quotes. The resource type should either be one of the default resource types(e.g. RT_STRING ) or it should be the result of calling MAKEINTRESOURCE macro
