Recompilation of rfcexec.cpp from Netweaver RFC SDK?

Dear all:
The ABAP forum moderator told me to post this here... I did a quick search and found nothing related to my question.

I downloaded the Netweaver RFC SDK and tried to compile the delivered 'demo' rfcexec.cpp after adding the library and lib paths accordingly. I considered OSS note 1056696 which talked about settings and using Visual Studio 2005. It also mentions changes from Visual Studio 2008 (and up, I assume).

Whatever I tried, I could not get the compilation to work. It's been a while since I did C++, so it might be something small. I used Visual Studio 2015 and found out that 2005 does not run on Windows 7 Professional. I'm not even sure whether to choose 32-bit or 64-bit.

Has anybody successfully compiled rfcexec.cpp on Visual Studio 2015 using C++? Would you share the project settings and whatever command line options need to be added? Does it require changes to rfcexec.cpp or rfcexec.h since the note mentioned several differences for VS 2008?

I would like to start with a working demo and then take if from there incrementally.

Thanks in advance,

Wolfgang
