Unable to find module file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC1

Time:07-28

I am using Visual Studio 2019 and am trying to build a solution in it. When building the solution I get the error: Unable to find module file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Merge Modules\Microsoft_VC120_MFCLOC_x64.msm. I have searched online and googled quite a bit but I can not find a place where I could download this .msm module. Moreover, when I navigate to the Common files folder, I seem to find no Merge Modules folder. So my questions would be:

  • Where can I acquire the missing module?
  • Is it normal to not have the 'Merge Modules' folder (my VS2019 installation was perfectly fine)?

CodePudding user response:

Okay, so as pointed out by @HansPassant the module is from 2013 version of VS. So I downloaded the VS2013 and acquired the Common Files/Merge Modules. The module that I was looking for was there. Then I built the solution and everything worked fine.
