If that doesn't work reset. Other wise it is a problem with VS - its trying to run your code output in a command prompt but cant open it. 12-21-2008 #3 hung555 View Profile View Forum Posts Registered User Join Date Dec 2008 Posts 10 still a problem still the same problem... in reset do u mean restart the computer? 12-21-2008 #4 zigga15 View Profile View Forum Posts Registered User Join Date Dec 2008 Posts 9 yes reset. if that doesnt work post your code (in code tags) then at least we can verify if it is a windows error, or a developer error :P ~ Dan 12-21-2008 #5 hung555 View Profile View Forum Posts Registered User Join Date Dec 2008 Posts 10 here u go Code: #include trying to compile C++ projects User Name Remember Me?

Thread Tools 06-21-2010, 09:06 PM #1 Columbia42 Orbinaut "Error spawning mt.exe/rc.exe" when trying to compile C++ projects I've been trying to compile some C++ projects (mine and Orbitersdk samples) but I keep getting one of two error messages; "error spawning mt.exe" or "error spawning rc.exe." Does anyone know how to fix this?

The "mt.exe" and "rc.exe" comes from "bin" directory in there. Those paths should be set automatically when you installed the Windows SDK. You can try to run "SetEnv.cmd" batch file, that is also located in the "bin" folder of Microsoft Windows SDK, which should set all the needed paths.

It might be worth mentioning that I just reinstalled Microsoft Windows SDK and since then this problem has occured. Before that everything worked fine.

You can try to run it in command console as Administrator, or add/change WindowsSdkDir environment variable yourself, or edit options to add path to Windows SDK in Visual Studio / Visual C++. Setting environment variables could depend on your operating system version. Here is how to do it in Windows XP:Choose System Properties either from Control Pa
