Whenever I tried to open rc file in VC++ 2008, I get this error message.

enter image description here

The message said the file is corrupted, but I know the error message is not correct since I can open the resource file in another machine without any problem. I can't even open rc file from a project just created. I didn't have this problem before. I think this somehow is related to installation of VC++ 2010 Express. But that's just a guess. I tried several suggestions over google in vain.

Any idea how I can resolve this problem?

After following a series of suggestions for several hours from a wrong answerer, I found this thread and Andy Larter's answer solved my problem.

VC++ Express doesn't include or support a resource editor. If you've installed VC++ Express after VC++ 2008 then it's highly likely it broke something. I'd try uninstalling VC++ Express.

  • Thanks for your answer. But can you provide with any reference for what you are claiming? Actually, that was my suspicion too but couldn't find any document supporting it. – Tae-Sung Shin Apr 19 '12 at 00:53
  • Unfortunately no, however it is something I have experienced. – junglecat Apr 19 '12 at 03:25
  • Just uninstalled VC++ 2010, but the resource editor does not work yet. – Tae-Sung Shin Apr 19 '12 at 15:38
  • When I experienced this issue I had to reinstall VC++. – junglecat Apr 19 '12 at 22:20
  • Well, I appreciate your time to answer my question. But you'd better answer with more care and in detail. It takes a lot of time to uninstall/reinstall software packages. You made suggestion to uninstall VC++ 2010 so I followed and it didn't work. You are now telling me to reinstall VC++ 2008. Is "reinstalling" repairing or deleting & installing VS 2008? The small things will make difference. – Tae-Sung Shin Apr 23 '12 at 18:16
  • Your answer was simply wrong. For that, -1. Reinstalling looked like a solution but wasn't. I finally get an answer from MS forum. Please read my update. – Tae-Sung Shin Apr 23 '12 at 20:59
