rc.exe not found

[murenrb]

I am running VS 2005 PPE on windows XP with VFC 11. I recently unistalled a VS 2008 demo that had run out because my company finally purchased VFC for me to use. I went through the normal unistallation process and installed VS 2005 along with the compiler. now I am getting the rc.exe not found error. I have seen other threads about this but all the fixes (install ppe.exe and others) dont work becuase I can not find those files in my VFC 11 folders. Any thoughts?

May I suggest downloading 11.1 and getting VS2008 Shell? It should take care of the problem.

If you want to continue with VSPPE, I suggest uninstalling Fortran and VSPPE and then reinstalling.

Is it possible to do all that at no cost? I dont want to say my company is cheap, but I can't see them spending any money to fix this problem.

In the mean time I will try unistalling. Do I need to remove any registery keys?

It depends on when you purchased. Log in to the Intel Registration Center and see what it says is the latest version available to you. I see lots of licenses issued to your company, but the only one in your name is for an old evaluation license.

No, you don't have to manually remove registry keys.

I just had the same error, but for a different reason. I installed v11.1.035 with the MS VS Shell 2008. I then installed v11.1.038 (the version without the shell since I already had it). I then uninstalled v11.1.035 as I no longer needed it. However, my solutions would not load up as it could not identify "VPROJ". I then reran the v11.1.038 installation to "modify" it to add the association back in. However, when compiling it now says "rc.exe not found". I've asked the Intel Customer support but they are not helpful. Do you understand what is going on? Once I install a version that has the shell, can I never then uninstall it?

Thank you,
Brent

Brent,

I am not aware that this is a general problem, but I suppose anything is possible. I am not sure why you say that support is "not helpful", given that you just reported this particular issue today and your earlier issue was resolved to your satisfaction (at the time.)

I will try this scenario on one of my systems to see what happens.

I verified that uninstalling the "full" 11.1.035 removes almost all of the "VC" files from the Visual Studio 9.0 folder. This is wrong and I'll take it up with the developers.

The workaround, such as it is, is to reinstall the version that includes VS Shell. You can choose a Custom install and de-select MKL, documentation and VS Integration. That will leave just VS Shell and the compiler. There does not seem to be a way to not have the old compiler still on the disk.

Reported as issue ID DPD200138680.

This issue is fixed in the 11.1 compiler now.
