Try this:

  #include <windows.h>

  WORD WINAPI SelectFile(

      }
    else

      lstrcpy(file_name, full_name + ofn.nFileOffset);
      }

    return ofn.nFileOffset;
    }


  int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
    {
    char file_name[MAX_PATH + 1];

    int result = SelectFile(GetDesktopWindow(),
                 "C:\\Program Files",
                 "Select EXE File",
                 file_name);

    if (result != -1)
      {
      MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP, file_name,
        "Selected File", MB_OK);
      }

    return 0;
    }

Assuming the file name is temp.cpp a command line to build it could be:

  bcc32 -WR -v temp
