A resource in this file uses an unknown language (for default MFC project)

Question

Visual Studio 2013. I created a default MCF project and tried to open rc-file via Resource View. No custom changes were made.
 I got an error: "A resource in this file uses an unknown language: Neutral (Default) (unknown sub-lang: 0x3). Unable to open this file." I used AFX_TARG_ENU:  language 9 (english), sublanguage 1. There is no language value
in my project defined as 0x3 in winnt.h.

Answer 1

Hi JGANOL,
Based on your issue, could you please tell me if you get same error when you re-create a new Resource Script File in the MFC project?

(1) If you get same error message, I suggest you try to reset the VS setting file by going to the Tools->Import and Export Settings... check this issue again.
If it still could not help you, maybe you will need to repair or re-install the VS2013 check this issue again.
(2)If you did not get same error message, I think that the issue may be related to the specified the MFC project. So I suggest you can tell me the detail steps about how you create a MFC project.
