Missing .fres file (Windows)

Hello
I've written an InDesign plugin for Macintosh using the CS3 SDK. It works fine. I now need to get a windows version working.
I'm using the CS2 SDK for Windows (and yes, I'll use the CS3 also when I make a CS3 version) and I'm having a bit of a problem.
My .fres file isn't being created.
Merging Resources...
".\..\objd\ColorMunkiProfileSetter"\PrnSel.fres doesn't exist
That is the error I get but that makes sense, since I don't have a .fres file. The real issue is that my fres file isn't being created.
Here's how I made my project.
1) I cloned the PrintSelection sample from the CS2 SDK.
2) I took my CS3 Macintosh code and did a diff on the files, moving the important parts of my code, which was based on the CS3 SDK, into the CS2 based files. Really, there wasn't very much, just some printer callbacks and changing the names in the .fr file
3) I modified the .vcproj file to point to MY new source code, not the PrintSelection source code
4) I modified the .vcproj file to use my objd folder, not the PrinteSelection one.
That's it. I can build PrintSelection and it builds fine and runs, but when I build my the .fres is not created, so therefore merge_res doesn't run.
This is very frustrating and I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Paul

I guess it just goes to show, the best way to solve your problem is to ask for help!
I fixed the above problem by using WinDiff on the two .vcproj files. This show that there was a difference in the build commands, in the resource area. But of course! I have no idea how I missed that in Visual Studio GUI.
So now my .fres file is created and all is good. Well, not quite...
Now when I launch InDesign I get the error
"MYPLUGIN.PLN" Plug-in is missing plug-in resource!
Looks like I'd better go back to the diff and see what I missed. And, of course, if you've encountered this, I appreciate any help. Thanks.

  • After a notice of update, I was unable to use iTunes. It said I had a missing dll file and a Windows error 7. I removed iTunes and tried to reinstall. I selected the download items off the apple site. It says thank you but still not there.

    Having problems downloading iTunes. After an update notice, I was unable to open iTunes. I de-installed and attempted to reinstall it and it still won't open.
    The first error duirn the update was a dll file missing, then a Windows error 7. The screen on the Apple site say  Thank you for downloading, but still not there.

    A msi file is short for microsoft installer.  It normally is for installation, removal, and maintenance for a program. So iTunes.msi would be used for the updating of the program.  For some reason it isnt finding this so we can't update, install, or remove it.
    From what I have seen windows installer cleanup utility solved related problems before. 
    I found this forum about removing and installing a new iTunes.  It was about someone who was trying to isntall iTunes, and was looking for msi file and asked for help.   Using this should allow you to be able to install iTunes.  It won't give you the msi file but will allow you to isntall iTunes over again.
    This was what was said.
    Another option in case you can't get an msi. (Or even if you can ... the msi's mentioned in the messages may be damaged rather than missing.)
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I keep on getting the message "missing .dll file" when I try to install Itunes on Windows 7 what is wrong ?

    I am using Windows 7 (64) and keep on getting the message of "missing .dll files" after I attempt to install the latest version of ITunes. I attempted to install an earlier version and had the same results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes to no avail. I have queried this message on Google and found little to go by.
    Can anyone help from here ?

    This has just happened to me - again. Can't think what caused it. I uninstalled Quicktime a little while ago, maybe connected? I don't know. Uninstalling iTunes, or repairing, or a fresh iTunes install does not help
    Even if you keep downloading and putting the dll files it keeps asking for in the sysWOW64 and/or System 32 folder, Apple Mobile Device Support will not not 'start' from Services.
    Anyway, as well as itunes, you need to also un-install Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Bonjour, then reinstall the latest iTunes to get it all working again

  • Unable to install ituns on windows 7 64 missing .dll file

    Unable to install ituns on windows 7 64. Installer states missing .dll file.

    Here is a solution that worked for a user who also had a problem with iTunes Software Support. This thread was for a win32 version, but Maybe this is the problem for both of you?:
    IT appears that AppleApplicationSupport.msi, is not opening and installing properly.
    Download and SAVE iTunesSetup.exe, where you can find it.
    Then:
    1. Download and install WinRAR.
    2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
    3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
    4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.
    Here is a link to that fairly lengthy thread.. http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2151777&tstart=-1

  • Error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi missing or contains errors

    I have a new 2 month old(Aug 2014) hp eliteone 800 all in one computer running win 8.1 64bit. i have two  1 tb hard drives raid configuration. left computer on for an afternoon and when I came back it was off mysteriously. tried to turn on and it
    attempted to repair and was never able to repair. hp sent a new windows 8 software to install, they said os was corrupt. installed three times now i get error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi  missing or contains errors. hp said installation
    disc probably corrupt and sent me another. installed twice with same result, error code: 0xc0000001 file: \windows\system32\winload.efi  missing or contains errors. This began after the computer was just one month old and after i had placed 300-400
    gb of my personal data from other computers on it. I need all of these files so can't just recover/delete all of the files on the computer, although i have read that that may be my only solution? If i do recover will the files still be on the second hard drive??
    can you help with this problem?? thanks.

    Hi Richard,
    Did you try to repair or reinstall the system when you insert the new media?
    Have you tried to carry out a system recovery, which will restore your system back to factory defaults and how was the result?
    In addition, I suggest you use the new installation media to do a clean install(full format the old system).

  • Hp mini could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt /windows/s​ystem32/ha​l.dll.

    windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
    then it says please re-install a copy of the above file

    Any system or sys32 and any .dll files missing or corrupted errors, usually the only fix is to reinstall windows and anything on hard drive not saved on removable drives...flash, usb, cd or floppy is lost. I've had several sys32.dll file missing or corrupted errors and asked at Best Buy Geek Squad what the fix would cost and that's how I learned the only fix is installing windows.

  • Missing itil file in windows 8

    I keep getting the error of missing itil file in windows 8.  I recreate the itil file and itunes works fine once.  After I log out of itunes the next time I launch it I get the same error.  Where should Itunes be located in windows 8 directory structure and where whould the itil file folder be located within that structure? 

    Temporarily choose Duplicate Display then change back to single display and Icons may reappear on main display. (It worked for me.) The Show Desktop selection was already in place on my machine and toggling it does not fix this issue.
    The best fix would be on MS's end. Removing the extended display from my laptop inconsistently clobbers the Icon positions on the desktop.
    Since I park all my Icons on the main desktop (not on the extended display) there is no excuse for the OS to move the Icons to the extended display ESPECIALLY when the display is not present.

    I have Toshiba Serial #XXXXXXXXX, model P75-A7200
     Bought it brandnew at best buy almost a year ago. I did not make any recovery disc's or flash drive.
    It is getting slow and someother minor issues while on internet, so I want to do a Full Reset to facory settings. I have tried the Refresh option and the Reset option. Both come back with error message ;oxc0000001, missing file: Windows\system32\winload.efi
      So how do I fix this since I didnt make a recovery or start up discs? I can reboot the computer just fine, I just cant do a computer reset.
     I am running Windows 8.1, came installed with windows 8, I upgrade to 8.1 shortly after I bought it.

  • HT204318 Copied my iTunes from my Mac to my Windows 7 laptop, now there are thousands of songs missing on the Windows copy with the exclamation point.

    Copied my iTunes from my Mac to my Windows 7 laptop, now there are thousands of songs missing on the Windows copy with the exclamation point. everything shows up, playlists and tracks, there are just a bunch of songs with exclamation points. how can i properly sync my iTunes from my Mac to my PC? using iTunes

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

  • How to Back Up User Files (Windows 7 64-bit ) in HP laptop?

    He everybody!
    I have a HP laptop
    Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
    Product Number : LM610EA#A2N
    I have  read 'How to Back Up User Files (Windows Vista or XP)'
    Back up files with the HP Recovery Manager
    The HP Recovery Manager is used to back up user files to an external USB storage device.
    1-Boot to the recovery partition 1. by pressing F11 .
    2. Click Advanced Options .
    3. Click Backup computer files .
    4-Select the type of files you need to back up from the list and then click Next . It will take several
    minutes to locate all of the files, no matter where they are on the hard drive.
    5. Select the destination device (external USB hard drive or a USB flash drive/Memory Stick).
    6. Click Next to start the backup.
    New files will be backed up. Depending on the number of files located, it could take an hour or more to backup
    the file.
    However, When I have done those steps I encountered these:
    First: I didn't see any option to save the files in an external hard disk or even another partition other than Windows partition.
    Second: I haven't find any option to back up my files in other partition other than Windows partition, I have let Recovery manager proceed to save at any place it prefers. After that, I found that Recovery Manager gave me an error during copying the files :
    Recovery Manager failed in finishing backup files, error: FFFFFF14, although the percentage of progress was %67
    Also, I have enough free space on Windows partition.

    Would it be quite good if anyone could take some time out to reply me?

  • HT4410 I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7

    Dear Apple. I have just installed Windows 7 64-bit full version Home Premium using Bootcamp and cannot get access to the internet. I installed on a Macbook Air Mid 2012 with Mountain Lion. Are there some drivers that are missing from the Windows 7 bootcamp install download from Apple

    It is a Total Misconception that the Support files are installed when you are installing Windows, even if the USB drive that holds them is inserted in the system when doing the Windows install.
    You must always Run the Setup.exe files from the support files or run the drivers individually once Windows has finished installing and booted to the desktop.
    Also you really need to run the Boot Camp Control Panel Applet and check for updates as not all the newest drivers for full function of all the hardware is included with the original support download. That download is basically a generic version to get the system working and without doing the updates not everything will work properly.

  • Constantly restoring iPod due to a missing sync file

    iPod model: Ipod Nano (3rd Gen)
    softwear Version: 1.3.3 (current)
    Format: Windows
    Capacity: 8 GB
    itunes Version: 11.0.4.4
    For the past few days I've been having a very annoying issue. Whenever I plug in my iPod It tells me that it's unable to sync to itunes because my iPod is missing the sync files. I find that odd. This is the first time in the 6 years -almost 7- that I've owned this device, that I've experienced this problem. Restarting the computer, unplugging and replugging the iPod back into the computer and trying a different computer all produces the same error.
    Here's what happens.
    -Plug iPod in
    -Itunes starts syncing my iPod.
    -itunes gives me an error saying my ipod can't be synced because if missing a file needed to sync my ipod to itunes.
    -iPod is disconnected from iTunes -by itunes- yet my computer can still detect it as a removeable device 95% of the time.
    I don't understand why It's doing this. I always disconnect my ipod from a computer once it's finished syncing -once both itunes and the ipod both say it's finished- by selecting the option on itunes and by selecting the safely remove hardware option in the taskbar.
    In order to restore my iPod, i have to click the ipod button when it pops up in itunes and hit restore before thhe error message comes up. It's a pain in the but that i have to do this every time i connect it to my computer. Is there any long term solutions for this?

    Hey TidalWavesLion,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    This error usually relates to a missing file for photo syncing. A good troubleshooting step would be to restore the iPod, then try to sync each type of media at a time (i.e. sync music only, then sync photos only, etc). This will help us isolate the issue.
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697
