I had the same problem with the MSVC6 Introductory Edition compiler.  I found that going to Compiler Options --> Select VC++ compiler --> Programs tab --> Additional Paths subtab, and adding the path containing the missing DLL to that list, solved the problem.

If anyone works out how to get this compiler working "without" having the whole Visual Studio installed -- similar to toolkit 2003 -- please let us know.

IMHO, I am not sure, due to license issues, that you can simply get the compiler/linker (similar to MS Toolkit 2003) without installing at least the "free" Express Edition (and may be deleting later the unwished components).

Best wishes,
Michael

Good evening...

I was running through the usual cvtres.exe issues with the 2k3 toolkit; and tried to use the cvtres that came with the VC++ Express install; and I get the impression it's a .NET app now. 

Microsoft released 2k3 toolkit to be used from the command line; and C::B just wraps that.  But no 2k5 toolkit has been released.  There is a 2k5 command prompt though so it could be possible.

Thanks for the answers. Maybe Microsoft will release a 2005 toolkit.
