OEMMakeWizard Help need

Autodesk OEM AutoCAD OEM
1

Hi All,

I need some help, we have build server that does our builds as part of the build we run the oemmakewizard with /BB /BC options this works fine but recent we’ve made a change to the list of features we enabled thus requiring a /BA option.

Unfortunately the moment I add /BA we get an error which is place in a file called mkoemdll.err

The error look as follows,

Compiling c:\PROGRA~1\autodesk\AUTOCA~1\Projects\mrpexp\Toolkit\mrpexpres2.res
Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Resource Compiler Version 10.0.10011.16384

c:\PROGRA~1\autodesk\AUTOCA~1\Projects\mrpexp\Toolkit\mrpexpguid.rc(18) : error RC2104 : undefined keyword or key name: STRINGTABLE

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘“C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86\rc.EXE”’ : return code ‘0x1’
Stop.

I can confirm we get the same error when we use oemmakewizard ui as well. I’ve double check MFC and ATL are installed. The only difference between my machine and server is the server runs build tools and my dev machine runs Visual Studio.

P.s. This is for OEM 2017 very old I know, we planning on moving to the latest OEM next year.

Thanks
Riaan

This issue has been solved, it was an incorrectly configured C++ environment on the build server.
I’d like to highlight the Autodesk lifetime support policy as this was a really old release (2017) of AutoCAD OEM and encourage all OEM partners to migrate regularly to newer releases.
“technical support, software updates, and hotfixes are provided for previous three versions only”
As the current release is 2025, the supported versions are 2022, 2023 and 2024, see this link: Autodesk Account Basics | Previous Product Versions | Available Versions
