I am trying to build a VB.NET project.
I am getting this error
The command ""C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\rc.exe" /r "C:\InteropUserControl.rc" #echo." exited with code 3.
I think the problem is that this file does not exist on my computer:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\rc.exe
Instead, I found it for example here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0\x86
The vbproj shows this:
<PropertyGroup>
<PreBuildEvent>"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Bin\rc.exe" /r "$(ProjectDir)InteropUserControl.rc"
#echo.</PreBuildEvent>
</PropertyGroup>
But I am not sure what to write there instead.
I have tried and changed it to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0\x86\rc.exe
But that did not help.
I have also copied rc.exe and rc.dll from here
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0\x86\
to here
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE
but it didn't change anything.
How could I fix this problem?
In the InteropFormToolKit directory, there was a file to found named "Source\Source.zip".
I unzipped these files, and with them, all went fine.
No more rc.exe errors.

I have a problem with my brand new instance of JetBrains Rider. After downloading it and creating the template project "ASP .NET Web Application" I get the following error message when trying to download NuGet packages:
Restore failed
Restore failed for 14 packages in 1 project
The log is
[Notification][Restore] Restore failed
Restore failed for 14 packages in 1 project
The packages/ folder does not exist.
I installed a couple of other programms (like the .NET Framework and even Visual Studio), I downloaded the nuget.exe and put it in the PATH environment variable. I moved the project around the hard drive because maybe Rider needs special permissions and even created the folder. Nothing helped so far.
When I type nuget restore manually, I get the following essage:

How can I fix this error message and download NuGet packages in Rider?
It seems downloading the nuget.exe and putting it in the PATH environment variable was correct. Additional, I had to add this to C:\Users<username>\AppData\NuGet\NuGet.config:
<configuration>
<!-- stuff -->
<packageSources>
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
<!-- other stuff -->
</packageSources>
</configuration>
Then I called nuget restore and the 14 packages were successfully downloaded. I haven't found a manual detailing this steps yet, so I'm not sure if more is missing.
Solution Directory contains ExtraDlls And Project Directories.
In the Project.csproj file we have references of dlls in the ExtraDlls with relative path. The Dlls in the ExtraDlls directory are always available.

Already tried with changing root directory in batch file. i.e. when root directory set with one containing MSBuild.exe, still getting the same issue.
Setting References updated with $(SolutionDir) didn't help.
e.g. $(SolutionDir)..\ExtraDlls\B.dll
There are many more references from ExtraDlls but showing error only for above two. Tried with changing relative path to absolute path in project.csproj file but still same error. So looks like it is being referenced from somewhere else.
In the project.csproj file, in the PreBuildEvent section the code is added if SolutionDir is not available then use ..\ (which visual studio can understand I guess) but MSBuild was throwing error or actually checking path starting with .\ which doesn't exist.
While using MSBuild.exe command pass a property /Property:SolutionDir="Path to solution file directory" which resolves all references and now getting all ExtraDlls copied correctly.
e.g.
MSBuild /Property:SolutionDir=%SOL_DIR_PATH% %PROJECT_SLN_PATH%\%PROJECT_DIRECTORY_NAME%\%PROJECT_NAME% /p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployDefaultTarget=WebPublish /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem /p:DeleteExistingFiles=True /p:publishUrl=%PUBLISH_DIRECTORY%\%PROJECT_DIRECTORY_NAME%
I'm having an issue where when I try to run builds using MSBuild, I get a non-zero errorlevel (-1073741819). While researching this issue, I noticed I got this error level if I ran msbuild in the Command Prompt or VS2017 Developer Command Prompt, but not in PowerShell.
In PowerShell, if I run msbuild /? I get the normal usage information. However, in Command Prompt or VS2017 Develper Command Prompt, msbuild /? produced the same error code as above with no output. For example, in the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt I see:

MSBuild returns non-zero errorlevel in CMD and Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt, but not PowerShell
It seems your Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt has not been initialized successfully. You can try to execute VsDevCmd.bat in the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt:
Location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\Tools
If this .bat can not be executed successfully, you can try to repair or reinstall the Visual Studio.
Update:
I'm seeing an exception code for msbuild in the Event log: Exception
code: 0xc0000005. Google hasn't produced much unfortunately
It seems the exception code 0xc0000005 is related to access violation. When you execute your command can you switch to use admin privilege? You may need to check the permission of your account. And you also need to check if Virus scanner is disabled.
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to build a solution from command line. This involves 3 steps:
nuget install
nuget restore
msbuild
I am using a NuGet.Config files that specifies where the nuget packages are cached to, and also where the restored packages are added.
The command nuget restore does not work, nor does it provide a helpful error message other than 'the solution can't be built'. Another answer on StackOverflow helpfully recommended to run the msbuild command and see what the error is.
It would seem that files installed via nuget are not found during msbuild (or apparently nuget restore). This is the log from msbuild for every single assembly other than what is found in GAC:

How can I specify to msbuild where assemblies installed by nuget are? Also.... why is nuget restore failing? The message I get from nuget restore is:
C:\<path>\src>nuget restore
Error parsing solution file at C:\<path>\src\<name>.sln: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
The project file could not be loaded. Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation, Version=4.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified. C:\<path>\src\<name>.sln
using:
MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '15.7.177.53362' from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\bin'.
As far as I can tell, the nuget error output is completely nonsensical. The absolute path C:\<path>\src\<name>.sln absolutely does exist.
This is a problem that only surfaced after 15.7.0 of Visual Studio / MSBuild.
NuGet already has an open issue for this problem: https://github.com/NuGet/Home/issues/6918
The current workaround is to install .NET 4.7.1 until the problem is fixed, because that will install the missing library in the Global Assembly Cache.
I have a FAKE build script which will run perfectly fine if I build the project once using VisualStudio, but if I try and do a fresh build then it throws errors saying it can't find the namespace of both a number of nuget packages and my dependant visual studio projects.
I'm using FAKE's MSBuildRelease and passing in the .sln file like so:
Target "BuildWindowsProject" (fun _ ->
MSBuildRelease
""
"Build"
[ "./Source/My.Project.sln" ]
|> Log "Windows-Build: "
)
It's giving out a number of errors such as below, but these include both projects within the solution and external nuget packages.
The type or namespace name 'Caliburn' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I did notice that back in 2011 this was posted - MSBuild cannot find a reference but it's quite old and I can't find any more recent occurrences of the issue online.
It works just fine if I do a visual studio build first and then run my build script but this doesn't solve the problem for a build server. What am I doing wrong?
You have to perform deep diagnostic by yourself, because the question under consideration requires the source code to be published here. It also can depend on the environment where the script is running, in order to get you the right answer.
You have an option on MSBuild utility to pass verbosity level of output. Use the following switch value to get detailed information about how the references are resolved during the build:
msbuild ./Source/My.Project.sln /t:Build /v:d
Using this command, you can navigate to the steps called ResolveAssemblyReference and ResolveProjectReference. You can see all the paths, where it will search for assemblies, and if it is succeded:
4> Primary reference "System.Runtime.Remoting, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089".

You also can examine which references were passed to the compiler if you look at commandline, which was generated by MSBuild and find out if there is a reference you are required in.
