While migrating one of the VC++ solution/project (windows service) from VS2010 to VS2019, getting below error. As per one of the forum, atlimpl.cpp (ATL) seems to be not available in VS2019. |Severity|Code|Description|Project|File|Line| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | |Error|C1083|Cannot open include file: 'atlimpl.cpp': No such file or directory|PBEinBoundServer|***\PBEinBoundServer\StdAfx.cpp|12|
I have commented it but I have got different error like below. |Severity|Code|Description|Project|File|Line|Suppression State| | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | |Error|C3861|'AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD': identifier not found|PBEinBoundServer|***\PBEinBoundServer.cpp|154| |
The build is successful after commenting below lines of code that uses the function "AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD".
HRESULT hrRegInitSuccess = AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD(this,
(LPCOLESTR)MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_RegAps), true, reSubstitute);
hrRegInitSuccess = AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD(this,
(LPCOLESTR)MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_NTEVENTS), true, reSubstitute);
Is there any alternative method for this?
Thanks in advance.

I do not find AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD document. Does CAtlModule::UpdateRegistryFromResourceD work?
@Chandra Sekhar K Was this project originally created by version of Visual Studio older than VS2010? Is this a DLL project or an EXE project? Is the project statically linking ATL or using dynamic linking?
Hi Minxin Yu, Thanks. I have replaced "AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD" with "UpdateRegistryFromResourceD" and errors are cleared. I could not be able to build another project as it is giving other errors. So, I will not know if it is working fine or not. I will put some more light on this and let you know.
Hi RLWA32, Thanks for your reply. VC++ project is a EXE project and it is bit old project. It is a windows service project. As per my knowledge, it was created in VS2010 (20+ years back) which has .c files also along with .cpp files etc. I believe that Project is dynamically linking ATL as External Dependencies header files are getting loaded during project load. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\atlmfc\include)
I used VS2010 to create a Windows service using the ATL new project wizard. I added a very simple com object with one trivial method. The ATL macros were used by the wizard and handled all registry and registration requirements. I did not manually add code to the wizard generated project. Then I opened this project with VS2019. After updating the project for tool set versions and so forth VS2019 built it without any problems. Consequently, I suspect that you are working with a project that has had manual changes made to it beyond what the ATL wizards would ordinarily generate.
Hi, is there any update? Can you provide a minimal reproducible example?
Hi RLWA32, Each environment (test1/test2/e2e) has a separate project. In one project (test1/P), code is different than other projects. I am checking and trying to made it sync. As the error is cleared, I will close this question and post another one in few days.
@Chandra Sekhar K, Any updates on this issue?
Hi @RLWA32 I was able to build the project in Release mode and everything looks fine. Thanks a lot for your help and support.

Although these are old similar questions, they might help you:

Hi Julio Iglesias Pérez , Thanks for your reply. I have already commented atlimpl.cpp file and got error about "AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD" function as it seems to be part of atlimpl.cpp.
Hi All, To conclude on the solution, I have commented atlimpl.cpp file as it is not available in VS2019 and replaced "AtlModuleUpdateRegistryFromResourceD" with "UpdateRegistryFromResourceD" to resolve some set of errors. On top of that, I have tried to build the solution in Release mode and it worked fine.
Thanks Minxin Yu, Julio Iglesias Pérez, @RLWA32 for your guiding me in resolving this issue.
@Chandra Sekhar K, You're welcome.

Wanted to comment that our team is working on a similar upgrade and had the same issue. Fortunately upon further research atlimpl.cpp didn't have anything in it and we were able to safely comment it out.
