No sure what difference to focus on. The items that look interesting to me, are the items below that you have that but I don't:
- Intel C++ Compiler Classic 2021
- Microsoft Visual Studio VC Package
- Visual Studio Tools for CMake.
Below is the whole comparison:
He has Visual C++ - without that, nothing would work.
Let me see if I can attach the project ZIP again. Hey, it works this time. Try building this.
If you open a directory window for the folder where you have the .rc file, what does it display as Type? It should be "Resource Script". I notice in your screenshot of the project that the icon for the .rc file isn't what I'd expect - it should look like this:
If you right click on the .rc, is Compile one of the options? If not, I recommend doing a "Repair" of Visual Studio from the installed Apps menu in Windows Settings.
SUMMARY:
==========
It seems like files with the .rc extension are associated with a different application. However, running a visual studio repair did not change the file association.
DETAILS:
=============================
When I try to open the project Console1 that you sent, I get a series of messages like the one below:
Then I get the following:
=================
When I right-click the resource from the solution explorer I do not get a compile option:
==============================================
In Windows Explorer it shows Resource1.rc as a "Resource File" and not a "Resource Script". It looks like it associates *.rc files with a different application.
RC1015 error is interesting, see above, it says on the page about RC1015 that one has to hard code in the things like winres.h with a full path at the original, it will not work as an include directory on the property page. Fileseek finds then in a jiffy.
I spent 30 minutes and then the error disappears and the RC page looks like normal. I tried the include path as a start and it did not work.

#endifAs you work through the set each one slowly disappears as an error, but you only get one error at time. If you do not fix these it still compiles but the rc window is text not the nice form. Final rc window not text now.
This is latest PReview and IFX.
Thanks for your feedback, and I appreciate your efforts.
I hand edited the paths to be absolute like you suggested. This does allow the RC file to now open and be in a visual non-text editor. However, this does not restore the "Compile" right-click option in the Solution Explorer. When the program is compiled, it does not invoke the resource compiler. The resulting EXE does not contain version information.
