    Hi,

    Even if we do not support Gif files as Bitmap resource type, this looks like a bug. Please report this defect to the MSDN Product Feedback Center.

    As a workaround, you can rename the Gif file to another extension before adding it to the RC. Then go back and rename it back both in the RC file and on the harddrive.
