Does this happen on every build? Have you tried doing a complete rebuild of both projects?

[no name] 21-Jan-11 9:42am

Every build. I tryed rebuild both projects. But it gives no effect.

I think, that could begun, when i installed Windows SDK 7.1

Does this help?

<update> Replying to comments has become tedious

Kozlov_Sergey (KS): No, it doesn't (implicit reply)

Indivara (I): Try removing the setting that embeds the manifest

KS: That fixes error, but absence of manifest causes program to fail

I: What is in xxx.rsx? Can you manually create a VS2008 project and move all the source there?

KS: Is it possible without doing that? The source is OK, and looks like there are no errors in projects.

I: I'm a bit out of my depth here... how about starting with the second project (which has no dependencies?) and building that in VS2008? (just convert and build, no need to manually create vcproj)

I have got this line:

Creating command line "mt.exe @"c:\Depot\DVD Morpher 3.0\AVDVDDecV2\Release\RSP00001715005152.rsp" /nologo"

Should there be symbol "@"?

Indivara 21-Jan-11 10:15am

Yes, I think so (haven't got VS here now)
A shot in the dark - try removing the setting that embeds the manifest.

It seems to me, that without manifest COM component cannot be created. It was build. But, when i create component, it fails. When i had file with manifest, component had been loaded successfully.

Indivara 24-Jan-11 3:58am

Sorry, I'm a bit dull right now... to recap, this is with a VC6 project converted and built on VS2008, isn't it? What's the "xxx.rsp" file you mentioned above? (where does it come from? Could there be something wrong in the source?)

Removing the manifest has fixed the error (as expected), but you need the manifest for proper operation... how about creating the solution and project files in VS2008 directly, then adding the sources to it? Or are there a prohibitively large number of projects?

I build 2 projects in Visual Studio 9.0. Second project, i have modified, has the same problem. Second project was created in Visual Studio 7.1, so i cannot downgrade to Visual Studio 6.0. First project depends from second.

There is no error in source code. It has not been modified for months.
Is there any way to solve problem without creating new project in Visual Studio 9.0 and adding files to it?

[no name] 24-Jan-11 4:26am

I think, the projects are correct, because without baseclasses there are only unresolved externals.

Indivara 24-Jan-11 4:40am

comments are getting a bit tedious - see updated answer

Projects have got dependencies and are in Visual Studio 9.0. Projects are already converted. This error apears in Visual Studio 9.0, only if i add baseclasses lib file. Second project (AVDVDDecV2) depends from baseclasses and has the same problem.

[Leaving now, further replies will be delayed. Try editing the question to include all details, that will kick it to the top of the queue and net you more replies. Use a better title to attract attention - like "Embedding manifest causes error in VS manifest tool"]

Indivara 24-Jan-11 5:30am

I don't understand, what is baseclasses lib? Isn't that one of the projects you are talking about? or is it that proj1 (name MainFilter?) and proj2 (AVDVDDecV2) both depend on baseclasses.lib?

[no name] 24-Jan-11 5:35am

Yes, they both depend on baseclasses. Baseclasses is microsoft directshow example project to work easier with directshow filters. Directshow filter is program (COM component) to watch video.

Solution 2

-1073741819 is FFFFFFFFC0000005 so that might indicate some kind of "access denied" problem. Also, I seem to remember having a problem with an old copy of mt.exe being invoked. Check all your hard drives for all copies of mt.exe, and make sure you're using the latest one.

There is the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe'. It is not old. It is file from Windows SDK coming with VS 9.0. I have one more mt.exe, but it is not used (i have checked renaming the file and rebuilding).

Solution 3

It seems to me, that i have found solution: NET Framework 4.0 is required.
I tryed to create using mt.exe from command line. NET Framework 4.0 request message appered.

Wow. .NET 4.0 wasn't around when VS2008 was released. Are you sure you're using the right mt.exe? What does the version resource say?

[no name] 24-Jan-11 9:31am

That means library, requred by mt.exe was updated and now requres NET Framework 4.0.30319.

[no name] 24-Jan-11 9:22am

I had NET Framework 4.0 installed. Repair does not give any effect.

[no name] 24-Jan-11 9:30am

I use
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\mt.exe
" -manifest "C:\Depot\DVD Morpher 3.0\AVDVDDecV2\Release\AVDVDDecV2.dll.intermed
iate.manifest" -outputresource:"C:\Depot\DVD Morpher 3.0\Bin\Release\AVDVDDecV2.
dll"

Hans Dietrich 24-Jan-11 9:34am

The version info for my mt.exe in v6.0a\Bin:
Version 5.2.3790.2075
Size: 719KB
(there is a different mt.exe for x64)

[no name] 24-Jan-11 9:39am

I got it: i have installed Windows 7.1 SDK, but not all components. That is the problem, i suppose. Tommorow i will install all Windows 7 SDK.

[no name] 25-Jan-11 5:20am

Installations failed. I will try to remove newly installed components. Fake Windows version, because company has not Windows 7, when we must install it.

Solution 4

Removing Windows 7 SDK and NET Framework solved problem.
