image - What does LoadImageA actually require? - Stack Overflow

I'm reviving some really old Win32 API based code, and having a little trouble with images. The code below was derived from Microsoft's Hello World sample program at

I added lines 47 – 50 to test access to resource files. PlaySoundA works fine, it will play the sound whether yeow2.wav is located in the project directory OR in the Debug directory below it. But LoadImageA is not working for me no matter where Laser3.bmp is located. hh always comes out NULL, with GetLastError always returning zero. Really? Oh isn't that helpful!

Can anyone see something that I'm lacking, perhaps some prerequisite that needed to happen first? Or is there more than one .BMP format? I’ve tried this with multiple BMP files, which open just fine in Paint. So they’re not corrupted.
