Hi,
Are you trying to build a CIN or a DLL? If you are buildinga  DLL, be aware that "a few of the steps necessary to create a CIN are not necessary in creating a DLL. Notably, the DLL does not need to link against cin.obj or lvsb.lib. Also, the build does not need to include the execution of lvsbutil.exe. However, be aware that functions specific to CINs (such as SetCINArraySize) will not work in a DLL."
Hope this helps.
