Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt with PowerShell.
Copy mstscax.dll (or rdclientax.dll) in the current directory:
cp "$Env:SystemRoot\System32\mstscax.dll" .Use the MSVC compiler built-in type library importer:
echo '#import "mstscax.dll" named_guids' > import.cpp
cl.exe /c /nologo .\import.cpp && rm .\import.*
(Get-Content mstscax.tlh | Select-Object -Skip 7) | Set-Content mstscax.tlh
(Get-Content mstscax.tli | Select-Object -Skip 7) | Set-Content mstscax.tliGenerate C# import library:
tlbimp.exe /machine:Agnostic /out:Interop.MSTSCLib.dll /namespace:MSTSCLib .\mstscax.dll
aximp.exe /source /rcw:Interop.MSTSCLib.dll /out:AxInterop.MSTSCLib.dll .\mstscax.dll
(Get-Content AxInterop.MSTSCLib.cs | Select-Object -Skip 10) | Set-Content AxInterop.MSTSCLib.csGenerate interface definition file (IDL) from type library:
- Launch OleView.exe from an elevated command prompt
- File -> View TypeLib, then select mstscax.dll
- File -> Save As..., use file name mstscax.idl
The resulting .IDL file needs to be manually edited to fix type declaration ordering before midl.exe can compile it again into a .tlb file.
midl.exe .\mstscax.idl /notlb /header mstscax.h /iid mstscax_i.cIn 32-bit mode, the generated headers define UINT_PTR and LONG_PTR types that can cause conflicts, use this code snippet to comment them out:
'mstscax.tlh', 'mstscax.h' | ForEach-Object {
$file = $_
(Get-Content $file) | ForEach-Object {
if ($_ -match '^\s*typedef\s+.*?_PTR;') {
'// ' + $_
} else {
$_
}
} | Set-Content $file
}
