I agree, it should be a warning, but it is an error, saying "old DIB in
res\main.ico; pass it through SDKPAINT". According to a search with
google you need a "vista-aware" resource compiler. Removing the
compression from the icon made it acceptable to the visual studio 2003
resource compiler.

Yes, at least with visual studio 2003.

With kind regards,
