How can a remark throw an error..?

[mpeccorini]

I'm getting the same compilation issues. The remark is of course not throwing the error but the call to the embedManifest.bat. The batchfile uses an executable called mt.exe and I can't find it (yes, I searched my whole hard disk). Can this be because I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition? Does anybody know a workaround?

Thanks

Mauricio

I looked for the mt.exe file and I realized I was missing some files from the Windows SDK (v6.0A in this case). I repaired my installation of Visual Studio and the file mt.exe appeared in the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin. After that I was still having the problem, but I don't know if thats because the file was not there when I first loaded the solution or something, so I changed the file src\Manifests\embedManifest.bat adding the full path of mt.exe. That made the trick.

I hope this helps,

Mauricio
