PRB: Fatal Resource Compiler Errors RW1016 and C1023 |
Q122534
When building an application written in Visual C++ version 1.5 or 1.51
under Windows NT, you may see the following error messages:
RC : fatal error RW1016: RC terminating after preprocessor errors
fatal error C1023: cannot open source file {resource file name}
RC returned error code 1.
RC.EXE fails because there are not enough file handles allocated to
the Virtual DOS Machine (VDM) in which the resource compiler is running.
RC.EXE is an MS-DOS-based application. When it's launched, its VDM
automatically uses \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT to set up its environment
unless a different startup file is specified in an application's .PIF file.
If the FILES specification in the CONFIG.NT file is set too low, RC.EXE is
prevented from opening the files it needs.
To fix this behavior, specify more file handles in the CONFIG.NT file. CONFIG.NT is located in the \WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory (WINNT is the directory where Windows NT is installed).
