rc.exe not found

When I am trying to compile Fortran using the visual studio and Intel Fortran, I receive this error message "This project is out of date / Debug Win32" in a dialogue/ Would you like to build it?. When I click yes, there are always two error messages:

Error (1): rc.exe not found.

Error (2): error code 23 (returned by OpenValidateX) opening pdb Debug\vc140.pdb

Could anyone help me with this problem, I have tried reinstallation and there is no use. I am not sure if it is because my computer is too old? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. Thank you very much!

Ignore the second error - it is harmless. A fix for that will appear in an update to Visual Studio.

The first one indicates that the path to the Windows SDK is not found or not valid. The easiest way to fix this is to search your PC for rc.exe (probably C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin) and add this in Visual Studio under Tools > Options > Intel Compilers and Libraries > Visual Fortran > Compilers > Executable Files.
