I'm wondering if there is something unusual about your directory structure. Try opening your Visual Studio with administrator privileges (that is, right-click over the VS icon, and "Run as administrator".) Does this overcome the problem? This soundslike a very strange problem.

Almost every instructions I find tell you to use MIDL to create a .tlb file then tlbimport to create the proxy dll. However, if the IDL does not include a library section no .tlb file will be generated, and sbtsv.idl does not include a library section. I tried creating my own IDL file that declared the interface I wanted to create inside a library #include "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\Include\sbtsv.idl" [uuid(43250D0C-BBC6-4109-BCD2-6F61F0D3B611)] library sbtsvClientLib { interface ITsSbResourceNotification; }; However when I try to run it through MIDL i get the following error Microsoft (R) 32b/64b MIDL Compiler Version 8.00.0603 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
