This example shows how to:

  • resolve all lightweight components
  • fix a component

in the an assembly.

'-----------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Specified file to open exists.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
' 3. Run the macro.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Resolves all lightweight components
'    in the assembly.
' 2. Fixes the selected component.
' 3. Examine the Immediate window to verify.
'
' NOTE: Because this assembly is used elsewhere,
' do not save any changes when closing it.
