Now I m getting the same error. I have just created one .idl file. while compiling it with midl.exe, I m getting the error as :MIDL1001 : cannot open input file oaidl.idl I m beginner on this and I have no idea, why it can't open the oaidl.idl file. can anyone, please help me on this... thanks, Ashok Reply With Quote April 20th, 2004,07:36 AM #3 SteveS View Profile View Forum Posts Member Join Date Aug 1999 Posts 492 Sorry, but I really have absolutely no memory of that problem! It sounds like something that I didn't work with much either because oaidl.idl doesn't even sound familiar anymore. Back then (1999) I would have been using VS6.0 and things may have changed for the VS.NET apps Reply With Quote April 20th, 2004,07:44 AM #4 MAshokKumar View Profile View Forum Posts Junior Member Join Date Oct 2003 Location India Posts 24 It's my hard luck... I m also using VS6.0 only. now I m knocking, each door at my reach. lets c, if I get anything. anyway thanks for your immedi
VS2003 Visual Studio Languages , Windows Desktop Development > Visual C++ Question 0 Sign in to vote I recently ran a batch file intended to set up my VS2003 environment. This batch file was distributed my by employer, but who knows if there are problems.I tried the following test: I created a new ATL project in VS6. I immediately saved the project and closed the IDE. I opened the project in VS2003 and converted it. I immediately attempted to compile and got the following error message:anothertest command line error MIDL1001 : cannot open input file http://forums.codeguru.com/showthread.php?70344-ERROR-midl-command-line-error-MIDL1001-cannot-open-input-file-oaidl-idl oaidl.idlDoes anyone know what might be happening? Would reinstallation of VS2003 help?I also tried to create a brand new ATL project in VS2003. Without changing the code or any settings, I attempted to compile. The error I got was:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\winres.h(28): fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'winresrc.h'.I did try to add this directory but recieved a similar error message that it could https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/9d24cf07-ed07-4f11-b1e5-24c99150ea63/problem-converting-the-most-basic-atl-project-from-vs6-to-vs2003?forum=vcgeneral not find another one of the ATL header files. Is my IDE completely hosed? If I reinstall, do I need to wipe out any registry entries?Please help!  Thank You Thursday, January 26, 2006 1:11 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote It seems as though your paths might not be set correctly. This could be from a number of reasons: 1. You override the VS/VC environment variables relating to path and you launch devenv.exe /useenv. In this case, either remove the /useenv switch or modify your environment variables 2. The paths are set incorrectly in your IDE options. You can look at these under Tools \ Options \ Project and Solutions \ VC++ Directories    - You should see $(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include under the includes section Thanks, Friday, February 24, 2006 12:38 AM Reply | Quote Moderator All replies 0 Sign in to vote It seems as though your paths might not be set correctly.

VC98\Include directory and the directory where the IDL file is that I am building.I get http://www.masmforum.com/board/index.php?PHPSESSID=8d46cd4ecb1688be429ab49694ec53e6&topic=2246.0;wap2 the following error:Code: command line error MIDL1001 cannot open input file unknwn.idl If the file is in the VC98\include and the working directory I assume that this error message is not because the file can't be found.I looked the error number up at MSDN and it simply said this:Code:Preprocessor Errors The following error messages are generated command line during preprocessing: ' 'MIDL1001: cannot open input file The specified input file could not be opened. ' 'A lot of help that is!Anyone have any idea what could cause that error? sluggy: You problem may be because of confusion as to what the working (local) directory is. You probably think that the local directory is command line error the one containing the idl file (which is a reasonable assumption), but i bet that the local directory is actually the one that midl is running from.Either put the include file in the same folder as midl.exe, or add the folder to the PATH envvar. As a last resort you could fully qualify the path name in the include statement. Robert Collins: OK, problem solved. There were two problems. One was like you said, sluggy. Just to make it all simple I put everything in the same directory (I didn't want to get into this PATH thingy). That solved the 1st problem about the error message command line error MIDL1001 cannot open input file unknwn.idl. After I got it to compile I encountered a second error: midl\oleaut32.dll : error MIDL2020 : error generating type library : SaveAllChanges Failed . Well, that one was resolved by removing the Read Only attribute from the IDL file.All is good for now. Thanks, sluggy for your quidence. Navigation [0] Message Index
