That problem is solved by compiling the TestRunner project from the 
TestRunner.dsw workspace (which cause DSPlugIn.dsp to be compiled and create 
the missing files).

I have recently though about that dependency problem. With the increasing 
number of projects and examples, it become harder to maintain all the examples. 
I have come with 3 courses of actions:

1) Remove all dependency in the examples. Clearly state in INSTALL-WIN32.txt 
that TestRunner.dsp must be build from TestRunner.dsw before building any 
examples.

2) Same as 1), but keep an example which can compile 'as this' (CppUnitTestApp).

3)Maintains dependencies for all projects.

I'll go for (2) unless some good arguments are submited. (3) is a lot of works 
and it's easy to mess up (like I just did there). (1) would be nice, but I like 
to be able to grab a new release and just run the sample with all the unit test 
right away.

What do you think ?

In any event, I'll fix CppUnitTestApp dependecy this evening (2) ;-)

  Hmm, I actually never been able to have that test pass sucessfuly (It was 
already failing when I wrote that test case). Never been able to figure out 
what was wrong :-(

  Same as 1.

  Thanks a lot Bob,
