error 6118 The Resource compiler failed to build the RES file ...
...required to link the DLL. I then run the rc.exe command indicated in the output and that gives the following error:
fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file windows.h
This is in an attempt to build an InstallScript project in IS 2023 standalone build.

Disregard the rc.exe command results. this happens on a working environment as well.

though not obvious from the error message, this was due to an invalid path reference to a file referenced on dialogs.
