I have installed Visual Studio 2008 and copied all the necessary files, as they were supposed to be.

but when try to run "Tutorials.vcproj", on the tutorial folder(that comes with the SDK), it shows error,

1>Compiling resources...
1>Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'rc.exe'.
1>Build log was saved at "file://f:\Rapidshare\Esenthel Engine SDK\Tutorials\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>Tutorials - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

...what to do, to get ride of this problem.

One more thing i dont have a shader model 2 graphics card.One of my friend has took mine, so im using my intel GMA. :( This cant run the examples that come with the engine.
------------------------------------------------
I am also facing some other problems, while trying to run the program from "Tutorial Start" page...
I am doing this:

1. New Project > ATL > ATL project
2. Finish the wizard with the default settings.
3. Then i copy the source code the the project_name.cpp file(after the default given code)

Then when I run the program it shows the following error,

1>Creating Type Library...
1>Project : error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'midl.exe'.
1>Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and Settings\Irfan\Desktop\vc 2009 projects\6\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
1>6 - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

What should I do to make this running?

I am fairly new in the project settings in Visual Studio 2009.It sounds a little complicated to me.I have used Visual C++ 6 before.

Please read the Wiki.

My built in intel graphics card dont support any kind of shader model.Does it anything have to do with it?Cause I am running the simple first program.
From this page : http://www.esenthel.com/wiki/index.php?t...rial_Start

I am setting up the project in this way.

1. New Project > ATL > ATL project
2. Finish the wizard with the default settings.
3. Then i copy the source code the the project_name.cpp file(after the default given code)

:oops:

and if i directly run the "Tutorials.vcproj" in the tutorial folder, with the SDK...

the bold part is the difference....referring to different file.

Try one/all of this steps then.

• Restart PC / Rebuild all.
• If you running AVG. go in the virus vault, and restoring the two "infected" files named rc.exe.
• Maybe MS missed some core interlinks for cpp installer.
• Uninstall Visual Studio 2008 and then shutdown. After rebooting I would install Visual Studio 2008 from scratch. check this out: http://www.sevenforums.com/software/647-...fixed.html
• Try copying the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin (with all the sdks files including rc.exe) content into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0\Bin (empty).[/list:u]

Thank your, for all your effort.

I have messed up with the installer of the express edition.So, i need to download it again.

I will inform as soon as, I make it up and running.
