MFC is failing to launch my dialog boxes, it seems, because it can't find the resource identifiers. The dialog boxes are in a separate .lib file (so it has a separate .rc file, which, I'm assuming, somehow conflicts with the one in my .exe file). How should I be handling this situation?

A:
In the .rc file for the .exe file, add a line like this:
#include "YourLibResourceFile.rc"
Then, in the .exe's project settings, add an additional include directory to where YourLibResourceFile.rc is, in Resources/Additional Include Directories.

You can't store resources (.rc files contents) in a static library. And since you can have only one "main" .rc file, all other .rc files mst be included in that one using an #include
statement, such as explained by Smashery (Edit: Oh! Smashery, you are the OP!).
