I get a MsgBox with "Bad version on 'WinMCI64.ppj'." >:(

Via the commandline it compiles fine, but not all AVI files work with it.

Thanks Timo

I'm running Windows 10 64 bit, where there is no vfw32.dll. It has been replaced by msvfw32.dll so I had to change

#pragma comment(lib, "vfw32.lib")

to

#pragma comment(lib, "msvfw32.lib")

I'm not sure, but I think that frankie's SDK must be installed to use the msvfw32.dlls.
