Unable to compile resources

(1/1)

ionstream:
I'm using MS VC++ Toolkit 2003

When I add a .rc file to my project and rebuild, the output gives me "Command execution failed." I have "rc.exe" in my Microsoft SDK directory, what more do I need? In the files build options, it says "WINDRES." Is this the program I need?

Thanks in advanced, and by the way, the new server are blazing fast! Nice!

mandrav:
You can copy rc.exe in the toolkit's bin folder (where cl.exe is).
Or add the path to rc.exe in the PATH...

HTH,
Yiannis.

ionstream:
Oh nevermind, I found that if I set PATH in Control Panel->System to the MS SDK bin directory, I could run rc.exe from any directory. Thanks!

PS: What does HTH stand for.
