You don't create a project to compile it.

Run the exe to extract the files. Delete the include and lib dirs in that directory. Go to the directory in a command prompt and type nmake.

detour.h is just a header file there is nothing to compile.

I believe Jaerin is talking about the detours.exe file you obtain from microsoft.

No, you actually have to run nmake on the source code packaged in detours.exe. If you try to use the header or lib file that is already there then EQLib.dll won't compile. Not sure about the version packaged with the MQ source, but I'm willing to bet you get the same errors, since Plaz was using VC++ .NET and you are using VC++ 6.

ok can anyone go into detail how to do these following steps please
i copied them from another thread

5. Add the CINTERFACE definition to the Preprocess definitions.
6. Add the DX8.1 include path to the Additional include directories.
7. Add ws2_32.lib to the Object/library modules.
8. Add ..\Detours\lib (where you put the objects from 1.) to Additional library path
