Cannot open input file oaidl.idl

I've been attempting to set-up a development environment using the 1.4.2 Activex Bridge. I am using Windows XP and Visual Studio. I have tried both service pack 3 and service pack 5 for visual studio with the same results.
I have set my PATH and CLASSPATH but still cannot create the tlb file for my bean (and ultimately a dll). The error reads:
midl: Command line error MIDL1001: Cannot open input file oaidl.idl

Why put yours IDL in the CLASSPATH
I think the best way is to make the environement variable INCLUDE
point where the Microsoft includes are ...
example of batch file :
PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Bin;
set INCLUDE=C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\INCLUDE;
javac Person.java
jar -cvf PersonBean.jar Person.class
set CLASSPATH=D:\j2sdk1.4.2_02\jre\lib;
packager -out c:\person c:\PersonBean.jar Person
The result should be :
c:\>packager -out c:\person c:\PersonBean.jar Person
Processing C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\\Person.idl
Person.idl

Re: fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file"OLDNAMES.LIB

Hi,
May be it is because it appears twice on your script :
OLDNAMES.LIB OLDNAMES.LIB KERNEL32.LIB USER32.LIB GDI32.LIB WINSPOOL.LIB
Hope this helps,

There are several projects that make up this application. They are asfollows:

(File: StructSO.Pex) services object. This is a restricted

the C project.
StructExampleProject - This is the External C Project that defines
(File: Struct.Pex) the interface necessary for Forte to generate
the wrapper code needed to call the C file.

ex_rep_chan is dependent on the db library, which judging by your printout, has not finished building. Which is odd, since Visual Studio is usually smarter about dependencies. Just rebuild ex_rep_chan and you should be fine.

Fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file"OLDNAMES.LIB-Reply

The OLDNAMES.LIB file should be in your Visual C++ library directory (eg c:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\lib). If you reread TechNote 11431it explains how to set up your LIB environment variable so that the linker can find the appropriate files.

Hi, i just installed the Visual Studio Community 2013 update 4 and after i began making a class i got this error.
Any ideas as to how i could fix this problem?

Hi runy385,
Do you get any error when you install vs 2013? Do you have any version vs installed on your machine? Does VS install in C: or D: ? Please first try to repair and re-install VS 2013. If this is not working , Please refer to this thread.

Read this thread, I guess this issue may because the VS uses the wrong version cl.exe. Please try the solution in above thread and remember to make a backup.

Hi, i cannot open PDF files. I recently downloaded a sample of Adobe Pro, but that has now expired

I do not wish to purchase Adobe Pro as it is too expensive.
please help, being unable to open PDF files is starting to hamper my business.
thanks

If all that you want to do is open PDF files, you can download Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way. I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers). If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged. This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

Photoshop Elements 9 and cannot open Raw files from my Canon EOS 1000D camera.

I am using Photoshop Elements 9 on a Windows 7 based PC and would like to know why I cannot open Raw files produced by my Canon EOS 1000D camera.
I have checked the version of the plug in as 6.5 for raw files which is supposed to open .cr2 files and should be compatible according to Adobe site info.
any ideas for next move.
Mick

Hi,
According to all of Adobe's charts, the Canon 1000D should be supported by the basic PSE 9 even without updates. When you said you checked the camera raw version in PSE, did you do that by going to the Help menu and selecting About plugins -> Camera raw?
The Canon 1200D requires ACR 8.4 which is only compatible with PSE 12 - so for PSE 10 your brother would need the DNG converter.
I can't find a sample raw file to try (I do have PSE 9). If you want to upload a sample file to dropbox and give me access, I could try it on my system.
Have you tried opening one of your files on your brothers system?

I cannot open a file from LR5 into CC2014 unless it is a smart object. also will not save back to LR at all it gives me an error message "Line: 1 - photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh H

I cannot open a file from lightroom into CC2014 unless I open it as a smart object. CC opens, just will not display my image. i am given an error code when I save an image, and can only save to my desktop or other locations, not automatically back into my lightroom.
I am using LR5 latest update, as well as CC2014
Below is the error message:
Line: 1 -> photoshop.notifyLightroomDocClosed ('lightroom-2.0', 'B53AFA39-A49B-4709-A9BD-0B6467C175C3', 'Macintosh HD:Users:BPexposures:Desktop:_DSC5962 as Smart Object-1.psd');

I was also having this issue, and I did some more searching and found this answer in the Adobe forums: Re: Photos from Lightroom 5 to Photoshop CC (2014) and back.... The issue appears to be caused by having not updated Lightroom to the latest version prior to having CC2014 installed (wow that's stupid). The trick seems to be to uninstall Photoshop CC2014 and to then reinstall it after having upgraded to Lightroom 5.5.

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12.

I cannot open InDesign files after upgrading to CS6.

Error message is "Cannot open the file *.indd. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug in that support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" Can anyone help!

That message means exactly what it says, more or less. The three possibilities are it isn't an InDesign file at all (we see that here a lot), there is a .idlk lock file in the same folder (delete it), or the file has been damaged (frequently happens with flash drives).
If you open the file in a plain text editor like NotePad or TextEdit (it will look like gibberish) and paste the first few lines here we may be able to tell you if the file is damaged or not an InDesign file.

Cannot open indd file in either CS5 or CS5.5

I downloaded CS5.5 on my laptop this afternoon. I then opened a CS5 file, worked on it, then saved. Now I cannot open the file in either CS5 or CS5.5. Is says InDEsign may not support the file format, the file is missing, or it is opened in anaother application. Does anyone know how I can open this file?

Just to be clear:
It won't open in either version. I created the file in CS5 (school computer lab), worked on it in CS5.5 (on my personal laptop connected through the server), then tried to open it on a school coputer using CS5. The file will not open.
Once you edit a CS5 file in CS5.5, it becomes a CS5.5 file and you will not be able to open it in CS5.
Make sure you are running the version you think you are, and don't double-click the file, but actually use File > Open from within InDesign CS5.5.
