Could not find file 'Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=*, PublicKeyToken=6595b64144ccf1df,

Question

I\'m trying to integrate this library into my application.

At first it crashed with

Unable to find an entry point named \'TaskDialogIndirect\' in DLL         


        

Answer 1

I have encountered the same error message in a project, and just wanted to share my solution.

I was building a project on Windows 7, and the project had a dependency upon this dll listed in the manifest file. Since it was trying to compile on Windows 7, it could not find the file, and hence I got the same error.

The solution was simply to remove this dependency from the manifest, as nothing in the project actually seemed to be relying on this assembly.
