    If have two locations for the rc.exe.
    MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 8\Common7\Tools\Bin\RC.Exe
    MICROSOFT VISUAL STUDIO 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\rc.exe

    What version are you using Express Ever tried to repair your installation


  • Mats Upptrom

    Its on your CD in the corresponding directory. On my CD its even not compressed.

    But I strongly recommend that you do a repair install. There might be more files missing.

    I tried to find the files but i dont think i have it. :( anyway, i cant really uninstall and reinstall back because the worker here seems to have lost it. Its there anyway else for me to obtain the rc.exe file Or can someone share it please Thanks
