13, 20093 0 0 0 Well, when you write your first win32 console application in Visual Studio 2008, you probably just want to click F5 and test if it runs or not. Unfortunately, probably you will get some trouble as I did. I collected three "confusing" errors here. Error spawning ‘rc.exe' Work-around: use Windows SDK Configuration Tool to change the headers/libs that Visual Studio 2008 refers to v6.0A. Error1fatal error http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2705459/1project-error-prj0003-error-spawning-rc-exe LNK1181: cannot open input file ‘kernel32.lib' Work-around: use Windows SDK Configuration Tool to change the headers/libs that Visual Studio 2008 refers to v6.0A. Error result 1 returned from ‘c:\program files\Microsoft SDKs\windows\v6.0A\bin\rc.exe' Work-around: turn off "Incremental Linking" I am not sure if there are other scenarios which caused these errors. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/pusu/2009/07/13/confusing-errors-in-building-win32-application-in-vs-2008/ Just for my experience, because my computer was installed with Windows SDK partially.

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 error spawning rc.exe 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. Thanked by: Columbia42 orb View Public Profile Find More Posts by orb View Blog 06-22-2010, 12:39 AM #3 Columbia42 Orbinaut I ran SetEnv.cmd and it didn't fix the problem. It might be worth mentioning that I just reinstalled Microsoft Windows SDK and since then this problem has occured. Before that everything worked fine.

Re-install Visual studio? rc.exe is the resource compiler. It takes your .rc file, and compiles it into a resource object file that gets linked into your EXE/DLL as a resource.
