fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'

in EMA

I just downloaded the Elektron SDK 1.0.6 for C++ and I’m
trying to build the packages examples. When I load and build the solution (Elektron-SDK1.0.6.win\Ema\Examples\Training\Training_VS140.sln)
with my Visual Studio 2015, I get the following error:

5>Ema.rc(9): fatal error RC1015:
cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.

Why do I have this error? Can you please help me?

    The error seems to generate from ema project because it requires the header file from MFC. As far as I understand, visual studio 2015 default setup does not install Visual C++ MFC package. Therefore you need to modify the Visual Studio 2015 setup and add the MFC .

    Please close VS2015 and goto Control Panel->Programs and Features->Microsoft Visual Studio <Professional/Enterprise>->Change->Modify->Add Microsoft Foundation Classes.

    Then re-open visual studio 2015 and re-build the solution.

    It worked just fine. The examples solution builds perfectly well now.

    Or, if you don't want to install MFC, you can replace the line:

    #include "afxres.h"

    with:

    #include<windows.h>
