Elevate.rc missing afxres.h on compile

[Beej126]

i changed the few references from afxres.h to the stdafx.h and it built and ran... not sure if that's the proper solution but it worked... for the record, i did upgrade project to latest Visual Studio 2017 15.4.0 but i can't see how that would impact this kind of issue

hi, maybe a bit late by now but just to answer the previous comment. the correct way to resolve the issue would to add the option "Visual C++ MFC for x86 and x64" . this is not installed by default with the "Desktop development with C++" package. Once this additional option is installed. the project compiles without errors.
hope that helps someone else.
