错误PRJ0002：从'C：\\ Program Files \\ Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0 \\ VC \\ bin \\ cl.exe'返回错误结果-1073741515

Question

I am using VS2008. (C++ code). I am getting the error when compiling:

error PRJ0002 : Error result -1073741515 returned from 'C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\VC\\bin\\cl.exe'

I tried all the options available in net including one of the stackoverflow link Visual Studio error confusion + help please

1. Tried shortening the path of my source solution by placing directly inside C drive.
2. Tried Removing any VS plugins. Tools -> Addin Manager.

My codebase is fine because the same solution is compiling fine on other machines. When I copied the solution to a particular m/c I am getting this error.

It has custom build steps, post build steps. But they are all correct because its working on other computers.

Answer 1

0xC0000135 (hex -1073741515) can be found in NtStatus.h

Its meaning is STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND. Try to look on your cl.exe with Depends

Answer 2

Have you tried resetting your settings of Visual Studio? It is available in Tools->Import and Export Settings. Setting it to Visual C++ Development Settings might do the trick. I know it have helped others with the same problem.

Answer 3

I fixed it by adding this path to the environment PATH variable: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\\Common7\\IDE

some of the dependencies of the cl.exe are lying in this directory, which were unresolved.
