Building FRHED Free Hex Editor for Windows using VS 2010 Fixed

Building FRHED using Visual Studio 2010 on Windows

Frhed is an free open-source binary file editor for Windows. It's quite old (last modified in 2009) but works great.

But I got the following error

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '..Debug"\lang.res'

Here's the fix - PreLink.bat

This corrects build errors for versions 1.6.0 (stable) and 1.7.1 (alpha) releases.
