Some Problem about compilation of RC file, fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'resource.h'.

I want to compile a RC file in winasm. In the RC file there is "#include <resource.h>". The output told me:

RC: RCPP -CP 936 -f E:\WinAsmProject\Test\RCa02784 -g E:\WinAsmProject\Test\RDa02784 -DRC_INVOKED -D_WIN32 -pc\:/ -E -I. -I E:\WinAsmProject\Test\ -I .
E:\WinAsmProject\Test\test.rc(1) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'resource.h'.

But I have set the include path D:\masm32\include. The file "resource.h" is in the path.

So I open the cmd window and go to D:\masm32\bin. I Type:
RC E:\winasmproject\test\test.rc
It also told me that cannot open include file 'resource.h'.

At last I copy the file resource.h to the path where the RC file is and compile it. It's OK.

I don't know why~ Did it mean that I should copy the include file to the RC file's path to make it compiled?

in first try to use more complete path, as in masm32 examples:
#include "\masm32\include\resource.h"

But this time the output is:
cannot open include file 'include'
so strange~

Welcome zellloveyy,

The include path is used by the Assembler (ml.exe) ONLY. For your resource files you have to specify where your resource.h is. Please bear in mind that after saving your rc file (in Visual Mode) from within WinAsm Studio, include resource.h statement is NOT NEEDED AT ALL.

Please let me know if you still have problems

unless you have downloaded a .rc file from elsewhere and it uses something like IDC_STATIC for every static. (IDC_STATIC is -1 in resource.h) or something like VK_F5 for accelerators. Or one of the standard Dialog Box Command IDs like IDOK or IDCANCEL.
