Bug 20245 – WinLauncher does not start in WebKit-debug right out of the box.

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Stefan Landvogt]

I build WebKit-debug and to verify that the WebKit.dll is fine, I try to start WinLauncher. This fails at 
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_WebView, 0, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IWebView, (void**)&gWebView);
where hr is returning some error code.

With help from aroben I tested the following patch, which worked on my system after a clean build but not after a rebuild of the WinLauncher solution.

Thanks for the patch!

Two changes are needed before we can land this:

1. The change you made to the project file needs to be made for all configurations. You should choose "All Configurations" from the "Configuration" drop-down in the "Project Properties" dialog, then make the change.

2. You need to write a ChangeLog entry. See <http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html> for instructions on how to do so.

Normally in ChangeLogs we mention the bug that's being fixed, like this:

I can make this change before landing the patch.

Thanks again!
