My newest Windows 10 SDK installation does not include rc.exe and rcdll.exe so I get LNK1158 error

I'm running Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, On Windows 10 Professional. I just installed the latest version of Windows SDK. I'm trying to compile a VC++ Console Application, very simple, but I cannot compile it because I get this error:



LINK: fatal error LNK1158: cannot run 'rc.exe'


I tried googling and I came up with this QandA but I can't find any rc.exe and rcdll.exe in my /kits/10/bin folder! Where could the problem lie?



If it matters, I installed the SDK version that came with the setup, and then installed the newest Windows 10 SDK that was on this ISO file: 



17763.1.180914-1434.rs5_release_WindowsSDK.iso

  • Starting with the Windows 8 SDK, compilers are no longer part of the installation. You need to use the tools that come with the IDE. Do you get the error when building from within the IDE, or are you using the command prompt? In the latter case make sure to use one of the Developer Command Prompts installed with the IDE. If you open it, run where rc to see whether it is properly configured.

  • @IInspectable Could you elaborate, please? What its a Developer Command Prompt? I'm compiling within the IDE. My code has no issues, I've compiled it with Clion+MinGWx64.

  • A Developer Command Prompt is a pre-configured command prompt. The Visual Studio installer places shortcuts to several configurations in the Start Menu.

  • @IInspectable Could you please upload the files I need somewhere and give them to me? I completely trust you. I fail to see any other way, as Visual Studio has no created any shortcuts in my Start Menu. Plus, I have browsed the folders and I didn't see any rc.exe or rcdll.dll. I think this is the only way.

  • Sounds like a failed/broken installation. Try to repair the Visual Studio installation or reinstall it if that fails.

0 I am trying to use an already existing sqLite database in my android app. I have verified that it is loaded into the project in the assets folder and I can browse it in DB browser when I open it directly from the project. This is the schema for the table I am trying to query CREATE TABLE "ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL" ( `_ID` INTEGER NOT NULL, `ACT_NAME` VARCHAR NOT NULL, `ACT_CODE` VARCHAR, `IS_ACTIVE` INTEGER DEFAULT -1, PRIMARY KEY(`_ID`) ) Below is the activity that creates the sqlite helper and then on a button click I execute a query on the ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL. When the query is executed this exception is thrown: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: no such table: ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL (code 1 SQLITE_ERROR): , while compiling: SELECT * FROM ACTIVITY_LIST_TBL class CalendarActivity : AppCompatActivity() { private var cursor:Cursor? = null override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState:Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) setContentView(R.layout.calendar_activity...
