VC SP5 PSDK FEb2003
-
hi, After I installed the latest PSDK , When I try to compile I get the message '...\rc.exe This program expects a newer version of windows'. I am running ME. what could be wrong with the resource compiler? I am using VC6 SP5 , with latest platform SDK. regards Hari Hari Krishnan

I have this same environment at home and have no troubles compiling (this is in contrast to Michael's comment about Microsoft disabling the product). Perhaps you need to reinstall SP5 with the thought that it might provide the "correct" resource compiler. What happens if you run the resource compiler from a command prompt? Change to the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\MSDev98\Bin folder, type rc, and see if it gives you the "...\rc.exe This program expects..." or the RC1107 message.

hi, NOP, the same message. I copied rc.exe and rcdll.dll from visual stidio 6 to platform sdk/bin. It works ok, but i know it is not right. Any thoughts ? regards hari Hari Krishnan

MS purposely crippled it so it will not run on 9x/Me. :( If you have access to older Platform SDK CDs, go back to around Oct 2001 or so and grab the RC.exe from there. --Mike-- Ericahist | CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | Homepage | 1ClickPicGrabber New v2.0! | RightClick-Encrypt "That probably would've sounded more commanding if I wasn't wearing my yummy sushi pajamas." -- Buffy
