Could not load UI satellite dll 'FileTracker32UI.dll'

Question

I've run in to an issue where I can't build a freshly created C++/CLI Class Library project in Visual Studio:

Even though I haven't made any changes I get an error when I try to compile:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error Could not load UI satellite dll 'FileTracker32UI.dll'. Make sure it exists in an LCID subdirectory of 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\'. TestProject c:\Users\abcde\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\TestProject\TestProject\FileTracker 1

I've created C++/CLI Class Library projects in the past on the same computer using Visual Studio 2015 without encountering this problem. Any idea what has gone wrong?

Answer 1

I ran into this strange issue today without making any code change. I suspect it appeared due to overnight windows update. In my case , I copied the two files FileTracker32UI.dll and FileTracker64UI.dll

From C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0\FileTracker\3082\ To C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\3082\

and it worked. My visual studio version is Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015 Version 14.0.25123.00 Update 2

I am hoping the info helps someone.
