Failed to load the resource file "Resources/mapguide_en.res" for locale "en"

By Daniel Du

I noticed that quite a few customers run into this problem on Autodesk Infrastructure Map Server. The error message on yellow page is something like below:

Server Error in '/MgViewerExtention_2012' Application.

Failed to load the resource file "Resources/mapguide_en.res" for locale "en".

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

I myself came across this problem as well, how did I fix it? Simple, just repair MapGuide WebExtension from Control Panel, the original installation media is needed.

I know it is not like a way of technical geek, but it works and it is easy.

Someone is saying that repair does not work for him, so I Google with this error message and seems this link is related: one of the reasons may be permission problem. And this one, another reason may be install order of mapguide and .net. I also hear from others that they get this error if they happened to miss up the 32bit/64bit, that means they are trying to install 32bit of AIMS on a 64bit OS or verse visa. 

Anyway, it depends, you may need to check more if you do not want to reinstall or it does not work for you.
