RESOLUTION

1. At a command prompt, change to the SDK library directory. For example, change to the C:\Wmsdk\Wmfsdk95\Wmdm\Lib directory.
2. In a text editor such as Notepad, create a file. Name the file Makelib.cmd.
3. Add the following code to your Makelib.cmd file.

   @echo off
   if "%1" =="" goto Usage
   if "%2" =="" goto Usage
   if EXIST %2 del %2
   
   set BASE_OBJ_PATH=obj\i386
   set OBJS=dummy mssachlp umkm rc4safe seed cpu circhash vlhash randlib aesbox aes cfb modes uint4 shan shaconst sha512 sha256 sha spb desx deslm desport deskey benaloh rsa_pub rsa_prv rsa_math rsa_gen rsa_key rsa_fast msrc4 msrc2 hmac md5c md4ms md4 md2const md2 rsa_port cdeclstu rc4fast rc2fast desfast shans shafast md5fast md4fast rsafast 
   
   for %%i in (%OBJS%) do ( 
        lib /EXTRACT:%BASE_OBJ_PATH%\%%i.obj %1 >NUL
   
        if EXIST %2 (
             lib /OUT:%2 %2 %%i.obj >NUL
        )
        else (
             lib /OUT:%2 %%i.obj >NUL
        )
    
        del %%i.obj
   )
   
   echo Generated %2 from %1
   goto Done
   
   :Usage
   echo "Usage: makelib <source lib> <target lib>" 
   goto Done
   
   :Done
   @echo on
   

4. Save your Makelib.cmd file to directory that you changed to in step 1.
5. At the command prompt, run the following command.

   makelib.cmd mssachlp.lib mssachlp_min.lib

6. In your Makelib.cmd file, locate the following code.

   mssachlp_min.lib

7. Replace the code that you located in step 6 with the following code.

   mssachlp.lib

8. Rebuild your application.
