visual studio 2005 cannot debug, LINK : fatal error LNK1201, 1 Rc.exe not found. under vista.

I am having this problem. Everytime I debug my application, Visual Studio 2005 give me this question: There were build errors. Would you like to continue and run the last successful build?

I press yes, then Visual Studio 2005 say me: ' visual studio cannot debug because the debug target C:UsersJessDocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsppppppdebugppp.pdb'; check for insufficient disk space, invalid path, or insufficient privilege.

Error list:

You can't debug a program that hasn't compiled. The debugger doesn't fix broken code, it helps discover bugs in codes that run on the premise that all programs have bugs although you might not be aware of them.

The message "rc.exe not found" is interesting and suggests that the installation is not correct. Since you are on Vista, did you follow the instructions in the compiler Installation Guide (and in the messages Vista would have displayed) to install VS2005 SP1 and the VS2005 Vista Update? You must also start Visual Studio with "Start as Administrator".

I'm trying to use on a laptop computer HP Pavilion dv6000 with Vista Home Premium a compiler Intel Visual Fortran 10.1.024 with Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2, so I tried to VS 2005 Professional and VS 2005 premier partner edition+mkl+intel visual fortran compiler profesional edition for windows vista - academic single getting the same results in the following three previous cases:

Note: Always I run the program as an administrator and I have installed the service pack's.

When compiling 'compiler' I get the following output:

Console1.f90

Compiling C + +, to work properly in Vista and XP, but
Compiling INTEL Visual Fortran I only work properly in XP.

My desktop computer Works with Win Xp. ----- NO PROBLEM -------

My laptop computer Works with Win vista. This is my problem, How could I solve my problem with vista?

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH.

Please use a retail and not a beta version of Visual Studio 2008. Beta versions are not supported.

Please show the output with Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition.

What happens if you create a project in a folder not under your username, such as C:Projects? You may need administrative privileges to create that folder first, then create a project inside it.

THANK YOU, VERY MUCH,

I HAVE SOLVED MY PROBLEM WITH WIN. VISTA; I HAVE CREATED A PROJECT INTHE FOLLOW FOLDER: C:CIMNEPROJECTS. NOW ALL IS CORRECT.

BYE,

JESS.

I am glad to hear it. I can reproduce the problem on Windows XP and it does seem to be Fortran-specific. I will report this to the developers.
