Refer - VS2012 doesn't include winres.h any more?[^].

Quote:
The file is part of the Windows SDK now and since VS2012 the SDK location is different, it's now called a 'Kit' and is found in Program Files/Windows Kits. Sepcifically you can find winres.h in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um
