Error spawing RC.exe

[Icyculyr]

I just installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition onto my computer, freshly formatted computer, and when I click "DEBUG" in the C++ IDE, it shows an error saying Error spawning RC.exe...

Does anyone know what this is?

rc.exe is the resource compiler.
Resources are predefined dialog boxes, icons, menus, bitmaps, etc.
They are defined in a ".rc" file which is compiled with rc.exe to produce a ".res" file.
