I hate to ask another "LNK2019" question, but this one has me
stumped. As you may expect from the subject, I'm getting an
LNK2019 error with PathAppend and PathCombine. Here is the error
output (I removed the parameters from the function calls because they
are extremely long and, I suspect, useless information):
1>WindowsMounter.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
__imp__PathCombineA@12 referenced in function "public: virtual void
__thiscall uruz::WindowsMounter::run(...)
1>WindowsMounter.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol
__imp__PathAppendA@8 referenced in function "public: virtual void
__thiscall uruz::WindowsMounter::run(...)
1>C:\Uruz\UruzEngine\Test\Utility.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
Naturally, the first thing I checked was to make sure that I had the
Platform SDK's Lib directory added to my VC++ Library Directories list,
which I do. Then I checked to ensure that the necessary file,
shlwapi.lib, was actually there, and it is. Then I tried to think
of something else that might cause LNK2019 on function calls from an
imported library, and I couldn't. Finally, I came here. Any
help would be appreciated.

Ah! My mistake. That worked great, thanks for the help.

Are you sure that shlwapi is included into you linker settings
This files does not belong to the Shell32! You need to include the Shell light weight api lib into your project: shlwapi.lib.
I usually place
#pragma
comment(lib, "Shlwapi.lib")in my code where i need it.
