Environment: C++/CLI - VS2005 EDIT: Error message is "Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'resgen.exe'." The weird thing is that it compiles other projects with the same configuration without any problems! I searched over the internet and it looks like it is caused by having VS2010 and VS2005 sitting together on the same machine. It is also said that reinstalling VS2005 fixes the problem. Has any of you encountered this problem before? If yes, how did you fix it? visual-studio-2005 c++-cli compiler-errors share|improve this question edited Nov 24 '11 at 15:29 asked Nov 24 '11 at 15:14 GETah 13.3k43472 1 uhmm -- what exactly is the error message? –Thomas Nov 24 '11 at 15:21 Sorry, my bad. Forgot to include the error message. Please see my edit –GETah Nov 24 '11 at 15:29 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted Just had the same problem and fixed it: resgen.exe resides in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin however that directory was not in VS' path, only the v7.1 SDK dir was there and that version does not seem to have resgen. Fixed simply by adding the above directory under `Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories->Executable Files', after the 7.1 dir to make sure things do not get messed up. My config looks like this now: .... $(WindowsSdkDir)\bin .... C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin share|improve this answer edited May 15 '12 at 13:58 answered Dec 13 '11 at 16:06 stijn 19.4k852104 Thanks a lot, this fixed all my problems :) Too bad I cannot do a +10! –GETah Dec 15 '11 at 15:23 add a comment| Your Answer draft saved draft discarded Sign up or log in Sign up using Google Sign up using Facebook Sign up using Email and Password Post as a guest Name Email Post as a gue

The examples are all based on Windows  Forms Application. However, when I enter File, New, Project, CLR highlighted, select Windows Forms Application template and finally try to build this I get the Error PRJ 0003 spawning 'resgen.exe'. I have seen somewhere that the error means that resgen.exe cannot be found or executed (but is needed for some reason https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ee09c937-ca5a-421d-bdde-37639217f7a6/error-prj-0003-spawning-resgenexe?forum=Vsexpressvc I suppose). I do not seem to have resgen.exe on my harddisk. What shouId I do to get up and running on my examples?

My recommendation is to remove all changes made for integrating the Platform SDK. This is not required for the book and it may be that something was disturbed as part of Platform SDK integration. (You can leave it on the machine, just reverse everything that was done to VC++ 2005 EE as part of integrating the PSDK with VC++.) If you can, do a clean re-install of the VC++ 2005 SDK. Uninstall it first and then delete everything left over that might pollute a reinstall, including solution or project files that were created previously. Unless you have any programs you need to keep, I recommend blowing away the entire Visual Studio 2005 subfolder in your My Documents folder and the entire Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8 directory on your hard drive. Then do a fresh install.  - Dennis Sunday, August 06, 2006 9:35 PM 0 Sign in to vote ÂHelp Suggestions Send Feedback Answers Home All Categories Arts & Humanities Beauty & Style Business & Finance Cars & Transportation Computers & Internet Consumer Electronics Dining Out Education & Reference Entertainment & Music Environment Family & Relationships Food & Drink Games & Recreation Health Home & Garden Local Businesses News https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101201110821AALpVUy & Events Pets Politics & Government Pregnancy & Parenting Science & Mathematics Social Science Society & Culture Sports Travel Yahoo Products International Argentina Australia Brazil Canada France Germany India Indonesia Italy Malaysia http://rupud.com/prj0003-error-spawning-cmd-exe/ Mexico New Zealand Philippines Quebec Singapore Taiwan Hong Kong Spain Thailand UK & Ireland Vietnam Espanol About About Answers Community Guidelines Leaderboard Knowledge Partners Points & Levels Blog Safety Tips Computers & error spawning Internet Software Next Error spawning 'resgen.exe' please help me to fix? i am using visual studio 2008 i compiled a blank windows form application (C++) and got this error error spawning 'resgen.exe' please help to fix this error . i simple opened a new project in windows forms and compiled and got this error Follow 1 answer 1 Report Abuse Are you sure you error spawning resgen.exe want to delete this answer?
