Hello,

I have visual studio 2010.
I have a .tlb file in my Thirdpart directory, and I want to import it.

I looked on another project, and it's imported like this:

#import "mytlb.tlb" no_namespace named_guids raw_interfaces_only
and it compiles fine in other prjects.

In my project, when I add this #import line, compile fails and I get the following error:

error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated

What can be the reason? What should I do to make it compile fine?

Thanks

Show the line(s) of code where the error occurs; we cannot see your screen.

It seems a bit silly, but is the compiler able to find the .tlb file?
