Complete error message is: error RC2170 : bitmap file res\filelarge.png is not in 3.00 format MSDN says: Error Message bitmap file filename is not in 3.00 format Bitmaps using the Windows version 2.x format cannot be used in version 3.x resource files. The bitmap must be redrawn or converted to 3.x format. Does anyone know of a tool that would convert an existing toolbar from 2.x format to 3.x format?

Looking at the file extension it appears that it is not a bitmap file at all. This is an off-the-cuff suggestion, but have you tried opening the file in MS Paint and saving it as a bitmap?

Try editing the .rc file manually and changing the type for res\filelarge.png from BITMAP to PNG.
