Ошибка rc1015 cannot open include file afxres h - ErrorsMaster.ru - большая энциклопедия ошибок и их решений

I’m trying to compile an old project using VS express 2010 but I get this error:

fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file ‘afxres.h’. from this code

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Generated from the TEXTINCLUDE 2 resource.
//
#include "afxres.h"

I have installed Windows SDK already, but without any success.

thanks!

This header is a part of the MFC Library. VS Express edition doesn’t contain MFC. If your project doesn’t use MFC you can safely replace afxres.h with windows.h in your terrain2.rc.

Had the same problem . Fixed it by installing Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++.

Start
Change or remove program (type)
Microsoft Visual Studio
Modify
Select ‘Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++’
Update

In in the Visual Studio Installer for VS 2022 this may be listed as an individual component: «C++ MFC for latest v143 build Tools (x86 & x64)», but you may need to adapt this for your platform and latest version available.

Even I too faced similar issue,

fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file ‘afxres.h’. from this code

Replacing afxres.h with Winresrc.h and declaring IDC_STATIC as -1 worked for me.
(Using visual studio Premium 2012)

//#include "afxres.h"
#include "WinResrc.h"
#define IDC_STATIC  -1

Alternatively you can create your own afxres.h:

#ifndef _AFXRES_H
#define _AFXRES_H
#if __GNUC__ >= 3
#pragma GCC system_header
#endif

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

#ifndef _WINDOWS_H
#include <windows.h>
#endif

/* IDC_STATIC is documented in winuser.h, but not defined. */
#ifndef IDC_STATIC
#define IDC_STATIC (-1)
#endif

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif

managed to fix this by copying the below folder from another Visual Studio setup (non-express)

from
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0VCatlmfc

to
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0VCatlmfc

a similar issue is for Visual studio 2015 RC.
Sometimes it loses the ability to open RC: you double click but editor do not one menus and dialogs.

Right click on the file *.rc, it will open:

And change as following:

I faced same issue on VS 2019. My solution was to install C++ MFC library from Individual Components tab. When you open Visual Studio go to Tools->GetToolsAndFeatures->IndividualComponents

Select and install:

MSVC v142 — VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest)
C++ ATL for latest v142 build tools (x86 & x64)
C++ MFC for latest v142 build tools (x86 & x64)

Had similar issue but the message was shown when I tried to open a project solution. What worked for me was:

TOOLS -> Import and Export Settings…-> Reset all settings

Question
Hi Folks:

   Last night, while trying to get VS 2015 to use the Windows 10 SDK, I managed to mess up the IDE to the point where a fresh install sounded like a good idea.

   I went to MS’s VS Community site for the latest download. 2017 is now the default offered version, so I downloaded and installed it.

   The compilation failed. The only error found is in the .RC file:
```
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// Generated from the TEXTINCLUDE 2 resource.
//
#include "afxres.h"
```
   Nothing was found when I searched for the header file on the C: drive.

   Commenting out the include caused other errors.

   Suggestions?

      Thanks
      Larry

Hi,

thanks for posting here.

>>VS 2017 .RC file — Error RC1015 cannot open include file ‘afxres.h’

For this case, I suggest you check if you have installed vc++ feature especially the MFC support with vs2017.

If not, please modify your vs2017 and add these features.

Hope this could be help of you.

Best Regards,
Sera Yu

##[error]OldWindowsAppOldWindowsApp.rc(10,0): Error RC1015: cannot open include file 'afxres.h'.

Upon further investigation, changing the platform version from v142 to v143 will fix the build issue. Older applications that don’t seem to be MFC library dependent still depend on artifacts like afxres.h and afxres.rc.

It does seem on the windows 2022 image that MSVC v142 is installed. Therefore my expectation would be that C++ MFC for v142 would also be installed (which I believe is the package in Visual Studio that would fix this issue).

Question
I am trying to compile samurize plugin for T-Balancer: http://www.samurize.com/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=6&lid=1897 and whatever I do I receive message from the subject.

I followed «Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK» and it did not help.

I have read somewhere that problem can be related to too long paths. Even so I have no idea how to make them shorter. Also information that ‘afxres.h‘ is related to MFC does not help.

I just want to compile some examples and every second attempt ends up with that very annoying message.

Answers

Solved and in case if anybody is interested:

After Microsoft Platform SDK is installed its /include folder consists subfolder /mfc. All necessary files seem to be there. Microsoft’s instruction: «Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK» explains that following line: «C:Program FilesMicrosoft Platform SDKinclude» must be added to «the Visual C++ directories in the Projects and Solutions section in the Options dialog box». But does not say anything about line: «C:Program FilesMicrosoft Platform SDKincludemfc». Add it as well what, hopefully, will solve problems.

Hello,

I recently had to reinstall my Visual Studio 2008 standard edition and Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler XE 13.1.0.149 [IA-32]. A copy of Help|About is given below.

Now, although the Visual Studio integration seems to be OK (See the data from Tools|Intel Composer XE|Visual Fortran|Compilers given below), I get the following errors when building from the IDE:

fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file ‘afxres.h’, when trying to compile resources, and

error #10037: could not find ‘link’, when trying to build existing applications

It seems that somehow $(VSInstallDir) and $(VCInstallDir) do not resolve to VS and VC install folders. ‘afxres.h’ and ‘link.exe’ are available under $(VCInstallDir)atlmfcinclude resp. $(VCInstallDir)BIN

I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times (actually spend the entire weekend trying to find a solution), but without result.

I hope someone has a solution for this issue.

kind regards,

Walter Kramer
