How did you compile your .res file? Windres will only accept files
compiled with itself. If you have a file compiled with Delphi resource
compiler, for example, it won't work.

Plus, the file needs to be in the same directory as the source that
calls it.

Hi Sekel,

This error occurs when I order to Lazarus “Run” (F9).
I just make three isolated forms under one project.
The project is too small.

Thanks very much.

Did you start getting this error after adding version information to
your project? That's what I did just before getting this error ...

Right ... don't ask me why, but I got rid of this problem by removing
the statement (in my case) {$R remove_lines.res} from (again in my
case) remove_lines.lpr...

Thanks for the tip !!

I ran into the same problem when I wanted to work on an old(er)
project that I made with an earlier version of Lazarus.

Removing {$R myappplication.res} from myapplication.lpr worked perfect

Thanks a lot njb! That was really helpful!

Unbelievable that it got posted almost just in time for me to stumble
upon the same problem .

edit: Can I fix project info without getting a similar error?
