Visual Studio 2008 (missing files)

May 9th, 2021

Hey guys!
I recently downloaded the trial of Visual Studio 2008. I’m trying to edit the resource file in my program, but everytime I do so, VS2008 gives me this:
Image
Any of you, that have got it installed, that could check for the file RCDLL.dll in your the folders mention on the image?
Thanks !

Answer #1
Uninstall the trial and install the full retail version available elsewhere here. You won’t have that problem anymore.
Answer #2
Already downloaded the full version on my other computer, gives me the exact same thing.
Answer #3
try this
Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories
Show directories for: Include files
Add slash to last path, so “P:\” became “P:\\”.
Answer #4
Didn’t work. And I knew it wouldn’t. The files are missing, they never gets copied when I install VS2008. Already tried reinstalling, fixing my installation several times, same thing over and over.
Any other suggestions? If you’ve got VS install, could you hook me up please ? At the very least, check whether you’ve got the files yourself
Answer #5
did u checked that path ?files missing?
if no how about removing “\” at the end of the directory path !!
Answer #6
Of course I checked the paths the error gave me. I tried searching for it too, but nothing.
Changing environment stuff around work do anything, as long as the file’s missing
Answer #7
only rcdll.dll missing or ?
Answer #8
It bitches about rc.exe & mt.exe too when I try compiling Resource files, and generate manifest files.
Answer #9
Seems u need another installation from a different source !!
Answer #10
It would seem so. But it doesn’t make any sense that the copy I downloaded from Microsoft is missing the files too ?
Answer #11
