Failed to Load Resources error

[g62msdnatll]

I have an Outlook COM add-in installed. When I close Outlook, I sometimes
get a pop-up error dialog with the following message:

Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your setup.

Is there an error that I put in my Visual Studio .NET project?

Hi

Have you tried to look into the EventViewer Log to see if there is log
about the issue?
Can you post the exact detailed error message you get, and the error in the
event log?
It seems that this error is too general, e.g. incorrect MDAC version,
incorrect P/Invoke may cause the problem.
So it is better for you to post the error as detail as possible to show the
problem.

Also have you tried to attach to the Addin to dump the callstack of the
Addin project when error occurred?
BTW: to isolate the problem, I suggest you exclude all the other addins, to
identity if the problem is caused by the "problem" addin.

Hi Peter,

The error I noted is exactly the only error I see. A pop-up that says "
Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your setup. "

I do not have any other add-ins loaded.

There is no log record in the EventViewer log.

The error occurs when I have editted my code in Visual Studio .NET, and then
closed Outlook.

Hi

Based on my understanding, the problem only occurred, when you rebuild the
outlook addin and then close the outlook application, but if we close the
vs.net first, the problem will not occur.
You may have a try and let me know the result.

If so, I guess there may be a file lock in the vs.net when we close outlook.
Also here is a tool you may have a try to see if there is any file not
found or access deny error.

Hi there ,
we have got exactly the same problem: .Net player application runs perfectly
on XP and 2003 Server, but on 2000 and 2000 server after a while this and
only this message occurs.
We have tried so far:

installing different versions of Framework 1.1
new setup
reinstallation
removing all resources
we are not using a language resource
filemon doesn't come up with any errors that are helpful

This is driving us nuts! When researching the net- a lot of people seem to
have this problem most of them don't get it solved. A .Net bug?
Best regards
Kayla
