Inside COM: INF: Missing Header and Source Code Files (171560)
The information in this article applies to:

This article was previously published under Q171560 SYMPTOMS
The source code for several of the later chapters of Inside COM,
appears to be missing some header (.h) and source code (.c) files.
MORE INFORMATION
This is by design. The MIDL compiler generates these files during the build
process, when it processes the IDL files that are included in the code.
In each of the programs for Chapters 10, 11, and 12, MIDL generates five
files from the Server.idl file: Iface.h, Server.tlb, Proxy.c, Guids.c, and
DllData.c. The make files included with these sample programs all run the
MIDL compiler to produce these files. The book explains this process on
pages 260-261.
The Tangram sample program includes several IDL files from which MIDL
generates many header and source code files. For more information, see
pages 351-352 in the text, and the Readme.txt file in the \Tangram
directory on the companion CD.
Because the MIDL compiler must write several files to the source code
directory, you cannot compile these files directly from the CD-ROM.
You must first copy the source code files to your hard drive before
attempting to compile the program.
