Even I too faced similar issue    fatal error RC1015  cannot open include file  afxres h   from this code  Replacing afxres h with Winresrc h and declaring IDC STATIC as -1 worked for me   Using visual studio Premium 2012      include  afxres h   include  WinResrc h   define IDC STATIC  -1

Alternatively you can create your own afxres h    ifndef  AFXRES H  define  AFXRES H  if   GNUC    gt   3  pragma GCC system header  endif   ifdef   cplusplus extern  C     endif   ifndef  WINDOWS H  include  lt windows h gt   endif     IDC STATIC is documented in winuser h  but not defined      ifndef IDC STATIC  define IDC STATIC  -1   endif   ifdef   cplusplus    endif  endif

This header is a part of the MFC Library  VS Express edition doesn t contain MFC  If your project doesn t use MFC you can safely replace afxres h with windows h in your terrain2 rc

You can also try replace afxres h with WinResrc h
