Those look like compiler generated messages, not linker ones.

Check for your app to be topmost or systemmodal so your app gets the enter key.
Or is a bug in the app. Does it run on its own properly?Press F1 for help or google it.

Can you check if dialog box shown from the custom action is the foreground window.

I am using Visual C++ V6 and am trying to change the comments property of a file.
I am using the code below but get an error message 0X80030002 - which by using 'Error Lookup' is %1 could not be found.
Can someone explain what I am doing wrong?
I am trying to change the properties of a .txt file
CString text_filename;
text_filename = "c:\\text.txt";
const WCHAR *c = (const WCHAR *)(LPCTSTR)text_filename;
IPropertySetStorage *pPropSetStg = NULL;
IPropertyStorage *pPropStg = NULL;
PROPSPEC propspec;
PROPVARIANT propWrite;
PROPVARIANT propRead;
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
hr = StgOpenStorageEx( c,
STGM_DIRECT|STGM_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE|STGM_READWRITE,
STGFMT_ANY,
// STGFMT_STORAGE //Structured Storage property sets
// STGFMT_FILE //NTFS file system property sets
0,
NULL,
NULL,
IID_IPropertySetStorage,
reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pPropSetStg) );

If CString is already available for use in your project, why are you using error prone C-Style string?

Assuming you're doing a ANSI build (not UNICODE), the above line is wrong. You should convert the ANSI string to a wide character one, for instance using MultiByteToWideChar [^] function (an example of usage here [^]).

You are right I am Pi**ing in the wind.
Can you reccomend any books / websites where I can learn COM?

That will not change much, if his project isn't UNICODE.

for COM he will need Unicode strings or it will crash. It is the cause of his trouble.  Press F1 for help or google it.

That's true of course.
But still your solution is not valid if the application is a ANSI build (i.e. UNICODE is not defined) and yes, you may use COM with a ANSI built application, provided you explicitely convert strings.

CString text_filename = TEXT("c:\\text.txt");
works fines on ANSI and UNICODE.
I prefer buildind Unicode, because COM can be easier used. So my code is Unicode compilable.
I also like the CStringW class for COM in ANSI projects  Press F1 for help or google it.

Indeed. But it doesn't automagically convert a ANSI string to a wide char one. That's why I said it wouldn't help him on a ANSI build.
