The problem is that the path to this resource is persisted in the .suo (Solution User Options) file as a full UNC path, instead of a relative path from the home https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/fd2b06ad-0a5f-471e-9213-3e79df1fd082/error-1-error-creating-win32-resources?forum=vssetup folder. (Why this resource was landed in the home folder to start with, I have no idea.) To get rid of the message, close the solution and delete the .suo file. Visual Studio will recreate it the next time you save the solution or exit Visual Studio.

What I did it Right Click the project and Unload it. Once it is unloaded again right click the project file to edit. it will open up vbproj or csproj file which is actually xml. Search for ApplicationIcon tag and remove whatever is inside or search for the missing file name and delete it. That's it ... it worked for me.Agha Usman Ahmed http://www.aghausman.net Proposed as answer by Agha Usman Ahmed Saturday, January 28, 2012 5:06 PM Wednesday, January 18, 2012 10:01 AM Reply | Quote 1 Sign in to vote We recently moved our home folders to a different server, and started getting this error.

Oct 27, 2004. ~~~ .NET Ed ~~~ Guest this seems like a bug to me. I use VS.NET 2003 with the framework v1.1. I had a project that grouped all the common forms I would use in other solutions. There are icons associated with these forms. This week I had to reorganize my development tree, things got moved around by prune & graft. It appears that for *some* icons the IDE uses a relative path rather than an absolute path. When I compile my common-forms project it fails with the following message: "Error generating Win32 resource: Error reading icon 'E:\develop\lib\icons\relationtree.ico'-- The system cannot find the path specified." I looked at all the forms and don't see the missing icon. I remember one of them used that icon, but now that the tree has been moved all the forms display fine in design mode but does not build the project due to that problem. I went around removing adding the Form icons of the various forms because I think that's where I used it. The problem still persists. The other icons in the form display fine and are not missing so I must be one of the Form level icons. What I find annoying is: a) The IDE throws the error but does not give the slightest clue as to WHICH file uses the offending icon! b) That it somehow remembers the "relative path" and filename of the icon but does not appear to have that information ANYWHERE in the project directory! I did a search on ALL the files (Find in files, *.*) for the base name of the icon (relationtree and just that) and it cannot find it anywhere. So now I am stumped, can't compile my project, don't know where on earth this stubborn IDE is getting the path and name of the icon. Any help? this is certainly a bug, I wish it was just at least a bit friendlier in the message, it sounds like "There is a dead person in the city" yeah right, how helpful is that? I don't really feel like deleting the forms one by one and recreating them all over again. ~~~ .NET Ed ~~~, Oct 27, 2004 #1 Advertisements Herfried K.
