FIX: “CL.exe” exited with code -1073741515 & cannot run ‘rc.exe’
Hey folks,
had this nasty error after re-installing Windows 7 on my Notebook.
Installed Visual Studio 2010, wanted to build a project and obviously.. it didn’t work.
I actually got this error message:
1>—— Build started: Project: Win32Project2, Configuration: Debug Win32 ——
1>C:Program Files (x86)MSBuildMicrosoft.Cppv4.0V110Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(251,5): error MSB6006: “CL.exe” exited with code -1073741515.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Since there wasn’t any really helping solution for this online I tried reinstalling Visual Studio many times, without success. (Damn re-installing takes a lot of time)
-1073741515 = STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND
Running CL.exe manually ended up with an Message-box telling me there’s an DLL missing.
After a while trying around I came up with this solution:
(I was installing Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 7 64Bit)
Part 1: FIX error MSB6006: “CL.exe” exited with code -1073741515.
Add this to your PATH environment variables:
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0Common7IDE
Copy those files:
msobj110.dll
mspdb110.dll
mspdbcore.dll
mspdbsrv.exe
From
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0Common7IDE
to
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCin
Congrats, you _should_ be able to build your project now..
sounds a bit naive what, right after that was fixed the next error popped up:
Part 2: FIX LINK : fatal error LNK1158: cannot run ‘rc.exe’
Add this to your PATH environment variables:
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits8.0inx86
Copy those files:
rc.exe
rcdll.dll
From
C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits8.0inx86
to
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCin
