I am trying to use this function for looking up mime types:

The resource file it comes with has hundreds of strings in it, but I
have stripped it down to just one:

STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
101, ".3dm x-world/x-3dmf"
END

The project will not compile with this error:

[Pascal Error] E2161 Duplicate string: �ID 101; File ...\mimetypes..res
string kept: ".3dm x-world/x-3dmf"; file ...\mimetypes.res resource
discarded: ".3dm x-world/x-3dmf".

Any idea whats wrong?


Perhaps your test executable is named "MimeTypes" and the two resource
files (that for the excutable, auto-created by Delphi, and that with
the string resources) are conflicting because they have the same name.

If that's so, rename the strings resource or your executable.
